  • The Mathematics of Poker: Basic Equity Calculations
    - MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER EDUCATION- THE MATHEMATICS OF POKER: BASIC EQUITY CALCULATIONS AND ESTIMATES Mark Farag Gildart Haase School of Computer Sciences and Engineering Fairleigh Dickinson University 1000 River Road, Mail Stop T-BE2-01 Teaneck, New Jersey 07666 [email protected] INTRODUCTION The game of poker has experienced a worldwide boom in popularity in the past decade. This can be attributed to a confiuence of events: the invention of the "lipstick" camera that allows viewing of players' "hole" (hidden) cards for television broadcasts, the growth of online poker rooms, and the increased popularity of "satellite" events that allow players to win their way into larger-money events. The largest single prize awarded in a poker tournament to date, 12 million US dollars, was won by an amateur player in 2006 [2]. Poker is a game of skill that contains an element of chance; it lies somewhere between chess (pure skill) and roulette (pure luck) in the spectrum of games. Since poker is a game of incomplete information, skilled players often use psychology to help them make correct decisions or to infiuence others to make incorrect decisions. Some situations do arise, however, in which mathematical considerations are paramount. It is the purpose of this article to discuss such situations. Since the first section covers the rules of poker in detail, the subsequent discussion should be of interest and accessible to students with only a basic knowledge of combinatorics and probability. THE RULES Modem poker is played with a standard deck of 52 cards, using cards marked with numbers 2 through 10, J (Jack), Q (Queen), K (King), and A (Ace) to indicate, in increasing order, their respective ranks.

Using a simplified form of the Von Neumann and Morgenstern poker calculations, the author explores the effect of hand volatility on bluffing strategy, and shows that one should never bluff in the first round of Texas Hold’Em. 1. INTRODUCTION. The phrase “the mathematics of bluffing” often brings a puzzled response from nonmathematicians. “Isn’t that an oxymoron? Bluffing is psy- chological,” they might say, or, “Bluffing doesn’t work in online poker.
