  • Quote – Bill Chen — Mathematics of Poker

    Posting a cool quote from Bill Chen on The Mathematics of Poker.

    “In poker, strategies are extremely difficult to specify, as we have what might be called a
    combinatorial explosion of paths. There are 1326 starting hands a player might hold. Then there
    are 19.600 different three-card flops that might hit, 47 different turns, and 46 different rivers.
    Even after factoring in some equivalences with regard to suit, we still have well over five million
    board/hand combinations to consider. Then we must specify how we will play-each of our hands
    on each street, how we will respond to raises, checks, bets, and so on.”
