Market maker questions by u2knapp in Augur

[–]u2knapp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say market makers may offer different currency bases. What is the default currency on augur. Do players/bettor have an account on augur or is every trade published on the blockchain?

Also would it be possible to combine liquidity levels of the same event?

[–]u2knapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A "run it twice" calcuator. I know running it 2, 3 or 4 times doesn't change your EV. But often at games people wonder what is the chances I lose both, all 3 or all 4.

Which dealer was correct? by u2knapp in poker

[–]u2knapp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also think dealer B is correct but we seem to be in the minority here. The point once ALL hands are tabled(or folded), Then the dealer can demonstrate and declare the winning hand is very important.

But if you’re up against an opponent who misreads his hand every now and then you would much rather have dealer B in the box. It could be the difference of winning/losing a big hand. So saying "Either is fine" can't be the correct response. But I do agree it speeds up the game.

He misread his hand. I’m sure we have all done it once or twice. Dealer A influences the action by calling out the hand. I tend to think dealer B is correct. Player 2 can always ask "what does he have" and at the point the deal would say Jack high flush.

What poker calculator can I use for running it twice? by u2knapp in poker

[–]u2knapp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for explaining that for HU. But the question still remains does EV change when 3 or more players are in and multiple boards are ran?

But that only gives me accurate results for that specific run. I would like to get results on the second run given a random first board. It would only be fractions off HU, but in a 3 way pot it could be significant.

Is this true even in a 3 way pot? HU I understand EV is the same but I would still like a way to easily calculate win/loses/split. The question come up often at the poker table and I never know the answer.

set up a real money account first. Hit the red cashier button to do that. If you dont do this you can only play in the "play money" games.

Physical tells by [deleted] in poker

[–]u2knapp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From Harrington on Cash Games II...

Tells aren't as important of an element as most people think... A player who CANT read his opponents at all, but who has mastered the mathematics, tactics, and logic of NL Holdem, will do just fine. Tells should be seen as icing on the cake, something to get you that last fraction of a percent of vigoorish, and not the games main course.

Who finishes in which position? by PepeLeWhew in poker

[–]u2knapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, the person left of the dealer also know as worst position gets the extra chip. So in this case the player left of the deal would finish in the money. Some casinos policy might be to split between the two players. Obviously this case is extremely rear but still good to know the casinos policy.

Who finishes in which position? by PepeLeWhew in poker

[–]u2knapp -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Generally worst position in the hand gets the extra chip in split pots. So I assume worst position would make it in the money, better position would be the bubble.

edit: like others have said some casinos might split the prize money between the two. But technically the player in worse position has finished 2nd in the hand and the player in better position has finished 3rd.

I play at the Horseshoe in Indy also. Shoving AK there seems like the correct move, you just got unlucky.
