Poker Math Foundations / Grade 3 / Speed pricing

Five-second fraction

call/(pot+call) under five seconds. Drill until automatic at the table.

Worked example

pot 150, bet 75 → 75/300=25%. Equity clearly over/under?

Buddy check

Buddy test: explain tonight's main fold in one sentence. If he can't, he's not Grade-3 ready for your money in this game.

Drill

deal random pot/bet sizes from a stack of flashcards until the fraction is boring.

Coaching note

Standard coaching definition: required equity ≈ call / (pot + call). Compare that to your equity vs their continuing range. Check 'Five-second fraction' against it — don't recite it.

Drill

explain 'Five-second fraction' to your buddy without looking — stall means you don't own it yet.

Practice habit

tag one poker math hand this week where 'Five-second fraction' flips the action.

Remember

Make 'Five-second fraction' show up once in a real poker math hand log this week.
