    I'm looking for a poker book/website with a good section on probability wrt hold em. Preferably with the maths explained/demonstrated in the book. I have checked google and (other than the usual deluge of portal pages to casinos and blurbs about x being the best poker book ever) am unable to find anything that fits my needs. Any ideas?

    I could do the job with a pen and paper but would prefer to have it in nice printed format to add as a reference to a project I'm starting at the moment. That and the fact that my probability notes are at the bottom of the large pile of notes accumulated over the last two years in no particular order.

    The links in that sticky are all quite informative. I havent quite yet found a *preflop* analysis of the various hands....

    Postflop I find the "rule of 2" that I've come up with (I'm sure its not original, I cant be the only one to notice that 52 is almost half 100... thinking percentages here).

    Rule of 2 = outs * 2 * (# cards remaining) % chance of hitting an out ... only works post flop though.

    also you'll have to call twice to get those probabilities Dev mentions. So take that into account when deciding if your odds of making an out vs how much you'll have to bet to see both cards are worth it.
