Title: Formula to calculate expectation Post by: Grier78 on March 13, 2008, 06:57:24 PM Since I was bored at work today, as a bit of fun, I decided to create a formula that you can use to calculate the odds of achieving your desired result in a tournament.
((R x P) x (1 + E x (H - 10)/H))/P E = Your edge on the game between -100% (you suck) and 1000% (you are 10 times better than average). Average would be 100%. H = Hands per Blind Level. Min value is 10. P = No of players. R = Desired result i.e. Top 10%. Don't forget to use the decimal equivalents of the percentages. So if you are sad like me then have fun.

p=as many as you want e=100000000000000000 h=100 i think i just won the wsop Title: Re: Formula to calculate expectation Post by: doubleup on March 14, 2008, 10:34:10 AM Don't forget to use the decimal equivalents of the percentages %/100 8/10 Here is my formula to calculate the effect of a river bad beat (B/P)*(C/O) B = bankroll P = bankroll in pot C = cards not dealt O = opponents outs on this scale 0-5 - routine 5-10 annoying 10 -20 ffs 20-30 internet poker is rigged 30 + suicide watch I think anyone posting a beat of 20+ should be exempt from the normal 50p charge (providing that suitable bankroll evidence is provide) Title: Re: Formula to calculate expectation Post by: Grier78 on March 14, 2008, 06:03:08 PM My highest from the last month is 5, but I think that is just good bankroll management.
