Jan 10	comment	Do previous bets count towards All-In raises? Player A only has to bet as much as the maximum previous bet. That is player B, who bet $10. Since A has $11, he only has to call the amount up to $10 to call the "all-in" thus he still keeps his extra $1 despite calling the all in.

Dec 22	comment	How do I Calculate Expected Value of Shoving, including Fold Equity, in heads up play? I like what you've done here. Note that the equation can become even more precise by incorporating the possibility that the pot will be split.
Dec 21	comment	Pot odds with low chip stack One night I had a great idea that chip stack could relate to the probability of placing in the tournament, and thus you can make your pot odd decisions based on the chip stacks you will have before and after, and your prize pool equity based on those chip stacks. I thought the idea was revolutionary until the next day I found on the internet the idea has already been discovered. :(
Dec 21	comment	Pot odds with low chip stack Since asking however I discovered independent chip modelling, which I think is the best theory that explains these decisions.
Dec 21	comment	Pot odds with low chip stack I see. I agree my question was a bit unclear. Basically I was trying to assume pot odds were favourable, so I should have said that there like 9 players all calling the 700 after the flop, and you have calculated a 30% chance of getting the nuts based on the flop. So Pot = 6300, but it costs only 700 to call, with a 30% chance of winning. Now in a cash game this is definitely a call, but in a tourny maybe you don't want to risk your whole stack on a 30% shot.
Dec 19	comment	Pot odds with low chip stack The size of the pot wasn't mentioned in the question, so how can you say that the correct play is to fold?
Dec 18	comment	Profitability of re-buys/add-ons when allowed Note that you have also assumed here in your expected profit calculation that no other players are going to re-buy.
Dec 18	comment	Doubt in expected value calculation of Bill Chen book I added an alternative approach to my answer to demonstrate the calculation is correct.

Dec 18	comment	Doubt in expected value calculation of Bill Chen book No that's not correct. The first term in your expression represents total income, but your second term represents profits. You can't mix and match like that.
Dec 18	answered	Doubt in expected value calculation of Bill Chen book
Dec 18	comment	Doubt in expected value calculation of Bill Chen book Here is a possible explanation. Let's say three events can occur, with probabilities of 20%, 50% and 30%. The first event gives you $1, the second gives you $2 and the third gives you $0. Then the expectation value is simply = 0.21 + 0.52. The probabilities don't add to 1, because the third term (0.3*0) is 0, and thus omitted from the equation.
Dec 18	comment	Doubt in expected value calculation of Bill Chen book Can you please provide an example of one of the calculations in the book. I haven't read the book, but I have a mathematical background and may be able to provide some insight.
Dec 17	comment	Are there well documented cases of winning tournament by someone who wasn't looking at his own cards? The question says "someone who wasn't looking at HIS own cards", not "her" own cards.
