Arty Lee but is it possible that i do this in mu head?
thanks!
James,
I love your videos man. They have taken my mind (meaning how I am now thinking about the game) to a whole new level. Where I thought I had plateaued and was not sure what next to learn, videos like yours and a few other guys have shown me just how much more I have to learn about this game, but I love learning it, and love the game. That said, what advice do you have for putting the opponents on a range? I tend to play pretty low stakes buy in tournaments as I am just starting out, and frankly, the players I play with have no "ranges" they are not thinking players, so they literally could be playing anything from any position...This means it would be a total guess pre flop what they are holding. I mean I have seen people call three all ins with J4 suited and that same person call three all ins with AA, so it would be very hard to put those types of players on a specific range.
Thanks! Very clear video & full of useful insight on how to use the software. I see what u mean about not using the vpip and pfr to work out an opponents range because that is only going be based on a given number of hands that you have collected on that opponent and also doesn't really factor in the position they have played from.
You're very welcome Gregor
The Poker Bank can you go a bit further into what Gregor posted... I'm not quite grasping it.
Emmanuel Avila Valdez VPIP and PFR take a global look at how often a player enters the pot preflop. But a player who is running 22/19 isn't raising 19% of hands from all positions. They are raising much more often from the button than EP
The Poker Bank
Thanks Split, agreed.
I'm assuming that we would make an educated guess on what the VPIP/PFR might be from each position based on information we have on the player.
Seems like having VPIP by position on our HUD would probably not be very practical unless you played almost exclusively with regs which is not the case in 10-25NL.
Am I correct?
BTW thanks for the wealth of knowledge you have put out. I'm currently reading your book and referencing your articles and videos to better understand things that are unclear to me. Ive never had such an easy time catching on to the concepts!!!
Emmanuel Avila Valdez You are correct, and very welcome! Please let me know how you like the book when you fully done with it...
Call divided (Current Pot + Call) gives the break even equity percent needed. So if your hand's theoretical percentage equity is greater than the required breakeven percentage based on pot odds, then the correct EV decision is to call.
This was very easy to follow and helpful. Great content!
Wow thank you for this!
We can’t use Equilab while playing live or even during online play, so how do we calculate on the fly?
split suit you are my man.
I have a question about the first example. We entered our cards and a shoving-opponent range. What about the players that folded? Suppose we know that a player folds in this spot only with J8o-, shouldn't we add this info into the calculator (i.e. that the opponent has folded and he has J8o-)?
The bunching effect is so minimal that the impact will be super negligible.
Is there a way we can have a say BTN vs LJ RFI and be able to highlight what we 3-bet and what we flat call with in different colours?
I don't think you can in Equilab. But you can assign color groups with Flopzilla Pro and other range tools like Range Manager
Is there a equilab kind of programs which supports mac?
PokerCruncher
Thanks a lot!
does this work for Macs?
Great video by the and your videos too. But how do you know you get 1.3/1 odds? Or if anyone can help with this it would be great because I am terrible at math and I only understand the theory?
Pot is 29.50 and you need to call 22 so if you divide 29.50 by 22 and 22 by 22 you get 1.3 to 1
29.5/22 22/22 and you get 1.3 to 1 odds. To get equity you add 1.3 with 1 and divide the 1 by the sum: 1/(1+1.3)=1/2.3=43% equity needed to make a profitable call.
Call divided (Current Pot + Call) gives the break even equity percent needed. So if your hand's theoretical percentage equity is greater than the required breakeven percentage based on pot odds, then the correct EV decision is to call.
Not sure if anyone will see this. I was wondering if theres a way to choose one suit? Im working on an all spade flop, some of the hands that I think villain would call with depend on whether or not theres a spade involved. Just one spade. Thanks for the video though that board texture thing is dope Im hyped to use it.
There is! When building the range in Equilab, hit the "Suit Selection" button (near the PFR/VPIP area). Then select all of the hands you want to make spade-specific, then click the "Suit Selection" button again. Now a window will pop up that allows you to choose specific suit combos =)
But how does it calculate those percentages
silly question, but how does he find the 1.3 times and then convert it into 43%?
1/(1+1.3). Remember your "order of operations" =)
What computer or software do I need to download equilab?
Windows OS. And the software is called Equilab, no other software is needed to run it. Though I would suggest using Flopzilla Pro more than Equilab since it's much more robust (even though it's not free: www.splitsuit.com/shop/flopzilla-splitsuit-edition)
thanks for your videos, they are really great, but i have a question about equilab. when choosing a range of hands dragging the VPIP bar the range of hands is bigger, which makes sense. but when you drag the PFR bar it starts removing the best hands from the range. why does that happen?
Gonçalo Cunha I'm not sure. That's why we suggest manually plugging in ranges rather than dragging bars in programs like Equilab or Flopzilla
Just a guess. PFR is a narrower range than VPIP becuz players will limp with a wider range UTG than raise, since they are OOP.
you say you are getting 1.3:1 on a call but how do u know u then need 43% equity on the call to make it profitable?
This video on pot odds will explain everything ruclips.net/video/Y_dVZYyBxjg/видео.html :)
The Poker Bank ok thanks :)
1.3 +1= 2.3, 1/2.3 = 0.434 or 43%.
I just can’t understand how you can input all this data in a 30s time. The time you get to make a decision is always too small. 😅
Thanks man
Equilab vs Flopzilla or are they the same?
+Troy Strongwill They are different. Flopzilla + HoldEQ is super powerful, although it costs more than the free price tag of Equilab :)
+The Poker Bank I'm a member of Pokerstrategy and I'm sure there's no HoldEQ.
Equilab and Flopzilla are both Equity calculator, aren't they? The forums says they are practically the same. Are you affiliated with Flopzilla?
Troy Strongwill we are not affiliate with Flopzilla, no. That being said, there 100% is a HoldEQ: www.flopzilla.com/holdeq.html
Equilab is an equity calculator that does some flop analysis stuff. Flopzilla is a program that focuses heavily on hand vs board and range vs board analysis. We actually have a complete video showing how to use the software here: ruclips.net/video/M0_9ZZa22pM/видео.html
+The Poker Bank HoldEQ is free with Flopzilla according to their website. Thus I think Equilab wouldn't be needed for Equity analysis. What do you think?
+The Poker Bank Cool, thanks.
thank you very much! this was helpful :)
Thank you!
i dont get how do i chose card range for my oponet? on what it depends?
It depends on a ton of factors. SplitSuit has a complete course on hand reading here: www.splitsuit.com/the-hand-reading-lab/

Ask yourself self what hands you will play at each position at a poker table, utg, middle, hijack, co, button etc., and that will be the same for others roughly.
Hi, where is EP and EP+1 in Equilab?
+JoshTheBoss there is an option to change the UI to full ring instead of 6max. But the positions don't really matter much if you are just doing HU equity calcs.
+The Poker Bank Thank you for your reply. I kinda figured that. but I'd be ever so grateful if you could tell me where exactly could I change it , and where could I add my own design. of where you have the "green arrow" where is offers you all the limpers and some raisers. How can I add to that? Thanks.
43% we need where i get this
You get 1.3 to 1 pot odds. To get your needed equity (43%) you divide 1 by 1+1.3. 1/(1+1.3) = 43%
Memorizing possible range of hands vs any given hand seems like a looooooooot of work. Would take forever to calculate every combination
Spend 15 minutes per day for a week and you'll begin to get a feel for it. Being +/-10% is WAY better than just guessing =)
It's the same as memorizing and understanding chess variable concepts. Just do it 3 days a week or even more depending on how high you want to get at chess. Same for poker
Can we use this tool when at the tables, or is it prohibited?
Check the site's TOS - but it's really meant to be an off-table study tool :)
So what is exactly is it help you studying with? and since you cant use it really online when is it actually that useful. Its kinda the same question i wonder about your ev formula videos. At what point will you really get enough time to do those calculations? (except pot odds and 4 and 2 bc those are pretty quick)
Well the intent is to use this to study and do the groundwork off-line. I thought it was pretty clear @0:47
guys who knows how to use equilab trainer? I cannot understand what's the point of it..... my mental math can't cope with equilab, what is it suppose to train me with?
hiya how does 1.34:1 equate to 43%? Can't figure out how to do that equation
+sdfgsgfdghggfhsfghfg you go 1 divided by 2.34
or 100/2.34
TT and shortstack losing is ridiculous! Video would be far better if it shown rundown and opponent having AA, as it actually happens in life on Stars')
