Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by WiltOnTilt (Micro/Small Stakes)

Thanks for making this Wilt, i knew all the terms and had a basic understanding of them but never understood it in depth.
The way you explain it makes everything much clearer to me, going to make me some exercises next weekend .

hey maybe missed something but i think there is a discrepancy with one of the slides. On the "converting a percentage into a ratio" you say 33%>ratio is 2:1 as in 2:1 dog. Then afterwards you say 83%>ratio and say the ratio is 4.9:1 but you are referring to it as a 4.9:1 favorite. someone new could be confused

Thank you for this video, very clear explanations.

Just a quick question, in the AK vs flush draw example towards the end of the show, you mentioned that our stacks were 'effective stacks' of $1000, but I'm not quite sure what this means. Is there a different meaning to saying '$1000 stacks' vs '$1000 effective stacks'?

Great job and I'm gonna watch part 2 now.

if you have $2000 and your opponent has $1000, your effective stack if $1000 as well since the most you'll be able to win/lose against that opponent is $1000

if you have $2000 and your opponent has $1000, your effective stack if $1000 as well since the most you'll be able to win/lose against that opponent is $1000

Thanks mate!

I joined this site specifically for this series. I haven't played in a long time and am very rusty. After watching the first video- and also poking around, I have no doubt I'll stick around for a long time. Thanks Wilt. I know it's a long time since you created this series, but just so you know- it just brought deuces-cracked a new customer.

Man I love this series!

After this I will know if I make the right decisions after getting suckout.

A couple of slightly better approximations concerning the rules of 4 and 2.

4 * #of outs -(# of outs greater then 8) = turn percentage

for outs 6 and above
2 * #of outs + 2 = river percentage

That works well, thank you.

RushingOver,

I put the oddschart up on my website for you. you can find it here:

Glad you enjoyed the video!

it's good to just screw around with these numbers a little. seems to sink in better if you actually do the math. mess with approximation help sudic gave us and test it out a little bit

can't wait to watch the rest of the series. very solid stuff

I know I'm late to the game, but thanks Aaron for a GREAT series that was sorely needed in the community.

Hi WoT, I have a question here regarding your math for the 33% ratio to percentage problem. Wouldnt the correct ratio be - 1:2 b/c, 33% wins to 67% losses is equal to 1:2. In the powerpoint presentation it is written, 2:1. Can you clarify please??

Thanks,
Brian

ya 1:2 or 2:1 is fine, its just typically ratios are expressed with the larger number first, then either "favorite" or "underdog" is placed afterward.

so like 2:1 favorite. 3:2 underdog (or "dog" for short)

but 2:3 is not incorrect, it's just different than the standard way of saying/expressing it.

I joined dc 4 weeks ago and just got done watching this series.

Its soooo good.

Thanks a lot WoT. Great work, awesome presentation!

Sorry for being a nit here, but there's an error on the pocket pair line (in the bottom part of the slide).

On the turn your PowerPoint slide shows us as a 44.5:1 dog with one card to come. In fact we are an ~22:1 dog (in other words, approximately what you listed as the flop odds). The flop odds are also incorrect - we are ~10.9:1 against.

This error is also present on the chart you linked.

Hmmm...too late to edit - now that I read the thread I see this has already been mentioned. That said, it doesn't seem the link on your web page has been corrected.

Also, I see the first poster said the percentages were still correct. Upon review I agree that looks reasonable - I didn't notice since I tend to deal strictly on the odds and ignore the percentage equivalents.

Anyway, nice job on the vid.

This is fantasic, the basic core mathematical points that are so hard to find info on, and often taken for granted by a coach/expert when teaching a new player Leading to being told what to do when, but not why, which I think is the reason many new players and even some old hats can't learn how to play a dynamic game. I look forward to watching the rest.
