First, you'll be introduced to several fundamental overarching poker concepts that apply to poker math. Then we'll begin our journey into poker math where you'll learn about fundamental poker mathematics, including probabilities and odds, pot equity, pot odds, implied odds, the rule of two and four, expected value (EV), and much more. We'll then embark on a journey of learning about important pre-flop and post-flop poker mathematical concepts, such as pre-flop all-in situations, set-mining, steal attempts, three-bet bluffing, betting with the best hand, semi-bluffing all-in, bluffs and hero calls. Lastly, you'll learn how to perform basic and intermediate expected value calculations and utilize card combinations, better known as combinatorics.

This book is the one

Everything is straight to the point and was exactly what I was looking for. There was not one minute when I wasn’t learning something new. Buy this book. 5/5 - perfect

Excellent listen

I own the kindle version as well as the audio version. A very complete and well explained basis to poker math. I enjoy having access to the audio when driving or walking. A great listen.

Highest IQ in the Cardroom

Charles Darwin once wrote, "A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn’t there." That's an apt description of me when first listening to this audiobook.

Let's face it, few activities sound more boring than listening to a math book. I'm bad at math. I often struggle with basic arithmetic. But, I love poker and the culture of poker. I'm not a cutthroat player. I enjoy the ebb and flow of the drama inherent to the game. Like anyone, I prefer to win more money than I lose.

The audiobook is filled with brass tack facts. The style is personable. In that, the author seems genuinely interested in increasing the listeners skill level and success. I also own the Kindle version Poker Math: Expanded Edition. In addition, I've taken the Udemy course. There's a delivery medium for everyone's learning style.

I never thought I could learn, let alone understand this material. But, I have and I do. I apply it at the tables every day. Most importantly, I'm holding my own playing profitable micro-stakes poker. That's a pretty cool feeling for a late bloomer in the game.

Darwin continues, "Mathematics seems to endow one with something like a new sense." That's exactly how you'll feel after applying the principles in this audiobook.

Great introduction to learning poker math

I absolutely loved this book. The author did an incredible job of breaking down complex mathematical concepts and making them easy to understand, even for someone like me who doesn't have a strong math background.

One thing I appreciated about this book was how it was written in a very approachable and engaging style. The author used real-life examples and anecdotes to illustrate the importance of math in poker, and I found myself completely absorbed in the book from start to finish.

But what really sets this book apart is the way it empowers readers to use math to make better decisions at the poker table. By explaining how to calculate odds, estimate ranges, and use other mathematical tools, the book gives readers a valuable set of skills that they can immediately put to use in their own poker games.

Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in improving their poker skills. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a complete beginner, this book will help you understand the math behind the game and give you the tools you need to make better decisions and win more often.

Awesome poker book

Alton has done a great job explaining the mathematics behind no-limit holdem.

The book is clearly written and right to the point on many different poker mathematical concepts: equity, pot odds, implied odds, and combinatorics. There are many examples to solidify your understanding of the concepts. Even though this was an audio book I never felt lost working through the examples.

The book also dives into the math for pre-flop and post flop play. The set mining ideas are great and I know that it will really pay dividends in my game.

This book is a must for anyone looking to understand poker math, maximize their profits and minimize their losses.
