    Poker is as much a game of skill as it is about reading people. One of the key concepts to master is understanding pot odds-the ratio of the current size of the pot to the cost of a contemplated call. Knowing your pot odds helps you make better decisions about whether to call, raise, or fold based on the likelihood of completing your hand.
    For example, if you're on a flush draw (needing one more card to complete your flush) and the pot is offering you odds that match or exceed your chances of hitting that flush, it might be worth continuing in the hand. However, if the pot odds are low compared to your chances of making the hand, it’s usually better to fold.
    Mastering pot odds, along with reading your opponents’ tendencies and controlling your emotions, can significantly increase your chances of long-term success in poker.

  • @shrankai7285
    @shrankai7285 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    18:10 with a 33% pot odds, and a 37.5% defending percentage, how does that work? Does that mean that 37.5% of SB's hands have a 1/3 chance of winning against BB's raise? Do you start calling once you reach the 33% win chance with your hand, or do you call with worse hands to protect against BB's bluffs?

    • @jambojack
      @jambojack 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      This is an interesting question, and my sense is that what really matters for the caller are the pot odds. Once villian bets, the only thing that determines whether we can make a profitable call or not is whether our hand is good 33% of the time or more. I believe MDF is not a particularly useful concept in practice.

    • @GTOWizard
      @GTOWizard  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      Great question. Pot odds tells you how often your hand needs to WIN to break even, whereas MDF tells you how WIDE you need to defend to prevent your opponent from overbluffing. So if they're balanced, you'd call 37.5% of your range, and all of those hands would have minimum 33.3% equity facing the raise.
      However, it may not always be possible to meet MDF. For example, if villain is underbluffing, you would need to start calling unprofitable hands to meet MDF, which is a bad idea. So Pot Odds takes priority. It's ok to defend less than MDF if your opponent is underbluffing.

  • @JakGruen
    @JakGruen 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Please help,
    I'm crazy confused by the calculations at about 25:38
    How is EV Bluff Raise = Edge (Risk+Reward)?
    Wouldn't that mean that the more I risk, the better my EV? So if I raise to 1000 pots, it's EV Bluff Raise = 100.2 pots?
    I can't make sense out of it. It seems way more profitable to just call, because I put less risk into the same amount of possible profit.
    So what's off with my thinking here? Where am I going wrong with my logic?

    • @GTOWizard
      @GTOWizard  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They can only fold a maximum of 100% of their range, so in practice your "edge" caps out. You can't have a 10% edge while risking 1000x pot, since that would likely require them folding more than 100% of the time.

    Can someone explain to me the flopping an ace bit? I don't understand how flopping an ace would be so much more likely than flopping a 6 or jack. It just seems like simple math that any card is just as likely as any other

    • @benjaminbereznak8588
      @benjaminbereznak8588 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      The Ace bit is saying the odds are over 20% that an Ace would be the highest card post flop. It is just as likely as flopping a 6 or jack, but since an Ace would be the highest card when it shows up, it has the highest probability of being the high card post flop if that makes sense.

    • @mad1337nes
      @mad1337nes ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's a slightly misleading chart, stating what % that will be the high card on the board....but that number looks correct for A high, since it will always be the highest card (all the others should have a ~21.7% chance to appear on a flop too).
      The more interesting thing is that the percentage drops to (assuming the random 2p2 thread I found these numbers in is actually right) 16.88% when you have an single A in your hand (known card). So depending on the game stakes/ effective stacks, it might be more profitable to fold all your Ax hands to discourage flops (or better yet, opening some much larger bb amount to take it down without seeing a flop).
      It's actually a very interesting proposition, as the above mentioned play of winning preflop comes into factor. Then the reality vs probability factors that players are more likely to take flops/defend with Ax holdings. Looks profitable on paper, but closer or even losing in practice.

    • @kylebennett4434
      @kylebennett4434 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Thanks y'all, makes more sense now. I got a bit confused why he was talking about the % chance an Ace hits on the flop and then showed a chart of the chances of an X high flop. Those are the same thing but only for the Ace, so trying to apply that logic generally threw me off. Appreciate the comments!

    • @LectiidePokerRo
      @LectiidePokerRo ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @kylebennett4434: Your intuition is correct. The percentage is wrong as it looks at A high flops rather than chances of flop containing an A. Since A high flops doesn't take into account cases where 2 or 3 Aces show up, as well as A + pair, the percentage on screen is actually smaller. The correct one is ~23.5% and it's the same for any card in the deck, as you rightly pointed out. It can be calculated as 4/52+4/51+4/50 (assuming no hole cards).

  • @DirusSC
    @DirusSC 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I have a problem with Method 2: The Easy Way at 25:38. Would increasing the raise to 4x initial pot increase the EV if we assume no influence on the edge to EV = 10 % (4 + 2) = 0.6? At the same time Method 1: The Hard Way at 24:47 calculates EV = 70 % (2) - 30 % (4) = 0.2. The two methods seem to give different answers. Am I doing the math wrong?

    • @GTOWizard
      @GTOWizard  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You're close. Alpha of a 4x raise is 66.6%. Retaining the 10% edge means they fold 76.6%, not 70%.
      Hard way: 76.6% (2) - 23.4% (4) = 0.6
      Easy way: 10%(2 + 4) = 0.6

    Hi can someone tell me why do we count our chips in pot odds ? Like in 16:40, vilain asks us to put 10 chips on a pot of 20 (10 chips in the pot + vilain bet), how do we end up with a calculation of 10 / 30 = 1/3 ? Why isn't it 10 / 20 = 1/2 ? Thanks a lot

    • @hungjon
      @hungjon ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can also count the break even. If you lose ten and gain 20, in a 1/3 odds scenario you would lose ten twice and win 20 once in three runs of the hand, resulting in ev 0

    • @GTOWizard
      @GTOWizard  ปีที่แล้ว

      Check out 2:27 for an intuitive explanation.
      The basic idea is that you want to win your call back to at least break even. So if you win 1/3 of the new pot, you do just that.

  • @sagekita1042
    @sagekita1042 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    I am confused on how the Ace on flop bet is profitable. The percentages in the video are referring to an ace-high board. An ace-high board occurs more frequently than any other card because it is the highest card in the deck, i.e. lower cards have a chance of flopping with a higher card. However, that does not mean it is more likely to flop an ace than any other card. Are all cards not equally likely to come out on flop?

    • @smfreeze
      @smfreeze 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Don't know what you're on about, but the odds of picking an ace out of a deck is 1/13 and on the flop you pick three cards, if you get 4:1 returns, on average you will profit.
      I don't know why he used that table to demonstrate it, it was kinda confusing lol.

    • @TooMuchInternetTMI
      @TooMuchInternetTMI 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      4:47 ace high flops occur 21.7% of the time, if you win more than 20% of the time because of the 4:1 odds given its profitable, since 21.7% is higher than 20% it's a profitable bet

    • @scorpinex_twitch
      @scorpinex_twitch 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can just calculate it as 1/13 of ace propability for a random card on a flop. This way, around 0,92% is a chance of having a non-ace card. ~0,92^3 = ~0,78% is a chance of not having any aces on the flop. Thus, 1 - 0,78 = 0,22% of times you will face an ace. 22% (our calculations) > 20% (100$:400$ ratio), so the bet is profitable

  • @lvzee
    @lvzee ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Perhaps it is a technical quibble but if someone overfolds or over bluffs by 10% their frequency doesn’t go from 33% to 43% but to 36.3%. 10% of 33%. Imagine a limit game where the river bet is 10% of pot. The bettor should bluff about 8% of the time. If he underbluffs by 10% he only bluffs 7% not the impossible negative 2%

  • @gallagherk11
    @gallagherk11 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Is there any good intuition for why MDF > Bluff %? For example, if villain makes a pot-sized bet on the river, they should be bluffing 33% of the time but MDF says we should defend at least 50% of the time, which means we should be defending against a portion of their value bets. What's a good way to think about why that is?

    • @GTOWizard
      @GTOWizard  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That's a fun question.
      The intuition is that when you bluff, you are risking your bet to win the pot. But when you're calling a bet, you risk your call to win their bet and the pot. For that reason, MDF < Pot odds for all bet sizes less than the golden ratio.

    Hello GTO Wizard! Is there a way to compute for MDF without getting the alpha?
    For the example in 14:47
    I tried doing 6.5 / 6.5 + 11.5 = 36% which isn’t the 43% of 1-alpha
    Not sure if I’m understanding this correctly.. Thank you in advance! And love the videos. Cheers!

    • @jambojack
      @jambojack 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes, you can do 5 (size of pot before villian bets) divided by 11.5 (size of pot after villian bets). But I think MDF is only useful to ensure you don't start hugely over folding over a number of hands, and not a good way to decide whether to call or not in a particular situation.

    • @GTOWizard
      @GTOWizard  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      You can calculate MDF directly for the initial bet using this formula: MDF = pot / (bet + pot) -> 5 / (6.5 + 5) = 43% = MDF
      Facing a raise, like in example 17:56 you have to account for dead money in the pot. In this case the starting pot is (5 + 2.5) = 7.5 because SB already bet 2.5 and that belongs to the pot after we raise, and the Bet (Raise) is 12.5.
      MDF = pot / (bet + pot) -> 7.5 / (7.5 + 12.5) = 37.5%
      Or more succinctly: MDF = Reward / (Risk + Reward)
      I recommend calculating Alpha first rather than deriving MDF directly, and understanding the basics of risk and reward make it easier to learn EV and develop an intuitive understanding of what you're risking vs what you're getting.
      Hope that helps! You can check out our blog for more details: Read more: blog.gtowizard.com/mdf-alpha/

    @schlauLern 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Very nice video! Thank you. I watched it just now so not sure if the question has already come up but I was wondering about the 10% over-bluffing and over-folding. Why is it additive? I would have intuitively thought that if the bluff frequency is 33.3% and they are bluffing 10% too much, they are actually bluffing 33.3 % * 1.1 = 36.63 % and NOT 43.3 %. But maybe this is more clear if you get the numbers out from the data base? Can you maybe share the discussion on 2+2?

    • @GTOWizard
      @GTOWizard  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can define percentage changes as a relative (33% * 1.1) or absolute (33% + 10%). Both are valid, and if you wanted to define an equation using a relative input you could. I chose to use absolute differences because it made the math cleaner.

    Usually you‘d do these calculations assuming you have an Ace already in your hand, otherwise why would you hope for an ace on the flop? If you’re holding an ace that would be a massively losing bet. If that‘s just a bet between two spectators I don‘t really get the point of this example already but yes ofc then the math checks out

      Maybe the problem is the lingo being used -- "you're getting 3:1" -- it would appear this means, you put in 1 and stand to win 3. But in fact it means, you put in 1 into a pot of 4. The lingo itself is confusing.

    And if we win we get only 3bb, because 2 in the bank is ours
    What is wrong with this logic?

    • @schalke0494

      The logic is wrong because we dont care what we already invested. We only see the pot now and what we win. So we win 5 and invest 6.5. 6.5/6.5+5= 57% it needs to work.

      Compare to giving up with a bluff. You still lose that 2bb that you put into the pot earlier. So, if the river decision is to bluff or give up, the money you put in earlier is a sunk cost and doesn't count towards your risk.

    It seems like the way you're calculating MDF is wrong.

    🤔 🙋 Just so you know, the probability of seeing at least 1 ace on the flop is 21% only if you haven't seen your hand. And it can be expressed like this: 1 - ((4 C 0 * 48 C 3) / (52 C 3))
    Once you're dealt a hand though, you've seen 2 cards and now you have to update your information. Assuming you don't have an ace in hand then the probability is expressed like this: 1 - ((4 C 0 * 46 C 3) / (50 C 3)), which is 22.55%.

    Thanks for the video. but idk what calculation you used to get a 21% chance of flopping an ace!? That would mean close to 1 in 5 cards in the deck are aces. I get an average of 8.5% chance roughly.. assuming there are none in your hand; 4/50, 4/49, 4/48 = 8.0, 8.1, 8.3 % for each card on the flop respectively.

    • @GTOWizard
      @GTOWizard  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      There are two problems with your approach:
      Problem 1) You are multiplying OR logic (1st card Ace OR 2nd card Ace OR 3rd card Ace).
      Problem 2) You are calculating the probability of EXACTLY one Ace, rather than AT LEAST one Ace.
      **My calculation assumes no information about your hole cards, so drawing from a fresh deck**
      Convert this from OR logic to AND logic to calculate it correctly:
      P(At least one Ace) = 1 - P(No Ace)
      P(At least one Ace) = 1 - (1st card not Ace AND 2nd card not Ace AND 3rd card not Ace).
      P(At least one Ace) = 1 - (48/52 * 47/51 * 46/50) = 21.7%
      Or alternatively, the much cleaner solution using combinatorics:
      Total ways to choose an Ace on the flop = (52 choose 3) - (48 choose 3)
      Total flops = (52 choose 3)
      Probability of a at least one ace = [(52 choose 3) - (48 choose 3)] / (52 choose 3) = 21.7%
      -
      Here’s the same calculation assuming we hold two non-ace cards:
      1 - (46/50 * 45/49 * 44/48) = 22.6%
      ((50 choose 3)-(46 choose 3))/(50 choose 3) = 22.6%
      Hope that helps!

  • @coryaw95

      If you and your opponent is going to flop and nobody has a 2, the first card is 2 with 4/48, second 2 is 3/47, third is 2/46. If we multiply it, it is roughly 1 in 20000 that all three cards are going to be 2.
