Just been reading through vol I again and came across something i didnt quite understand (must have overlooked it before), its about calculating expected value more precisely (last page on pot odds in part four) quote:
"To be more precise in your calculation multiply the size of your intended bet by the probability he will call it"
OK first part of formula is easy to obtain, but i am having problems figuring out how to get a figure for probability he will call, ingame i can calculate a rough edge on whether or not someone will call what bet i make (using reads etc) but for the life of me i cannot understand how to turn this into a figure exact enough for the formula, i certainly must be missing something here can someone plz explain this? Thanks in advance and sorry to bother you people with this basic stuff
