Poker Math Foundations / Grade 5 / Equity vs ranges

Price the range

Pot odds against a continuing range beat pot odds against a single scary hand.

Worked example

needing 30% on river — if their bet range is value-heavy, fold more; if capped medium, call more. One-hand fantasy lies.

'Price the range' (poker math, G5): Price the hand vs a weighted range, not one fantasy holding.

Common leak

can recite 'Price the range' but can't show a hand where it saved chips in poker math.

Drill

teach 'Price the range' in 60 seconds using required equity vs overbet. Then tag one live rep this week.

Coaching note

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

Remember

Change one poker math decision this week. Notes beat vibes.
