Hi Tom. Good vids as always. I have a question. I have just had a nap so maybe I wasn't too concentrated while watching, but here goes; At 28.00-ish something confused me a bit. The QQ72r hand at the top equity flops goes 98% vs. 30% (opening range, right), 97% vs. 50% and 96% vs. 66%. There are also a few other hands that go from higher to lower percentage the wider the opening range of the villain. Why is this so? Is it because a wider range could potentially hit more flops and then there is a bigger chance that our Q-flops where we hit trips will run into some runner runner better hands? Hope you get what I'm trying to say?
Tom Coldwell10 years, 11 months agoHa, good question - I should have expected this to come up. Basically, the numbers aren't exact because everything was generated using PPT Online (wanted to do analysis in a way that was replicable without requiring anyone to spend hundreds of dollars on software) and that produces a decent chunk of what I'll term "white noise" (basically, they don't deal enough flops to give you a perfect picture). The broad trends are what is important here, not the exact numbers.
I actually go over this in a little more detail at the end of my vid on Calling 4-Bets by showing a few examples of identical sims and how their distribution graphs differ. If you're interested, just give it a go - take any hand you like, make the graph using whatever suits you like, then just change them around (spades become clubs, hearts become diamonds etc.) and look at the difference in the outputs.
Ahh, ok Tom. Thanks. Still struggling a little with these more analytical videos, but seems as if I'm getting better at understanding the more abstract examples. I understand the white noise term fine and I'll try it out for myself. Thanks again.
Guys do you have any tips for keeping tabs on these situation. Just like write them down in some chart or just memorize? I really like this but my mind wont being able to remeber all off it. Better keep notes on computer or simple paper?

Hope that makes sense!
