Hi! I've checked some resources on poker math. But, I still feel that there should be a better resource which explains it even better and clear. Could you please post any such resources which explain it with some good examples?

you need to read books, watch videos and analyze the major events of their hand, there are also interactive exercises that are conducted by experienced players in stream mode with comments,

I would suggest "Texas Hold'em odds and Probabilities" by Matthew Hilger as a good entry level book. The title tells you exactly what to expect -odds and probabilities - not game theory, not expected value, etc. As such it is a good book for beginners.

Cheers!

Everything was in chaos until MATH came in. It became more chaotic.

Some of the suggested strategy articles seem to be geared for fixed limit holdem which is not the preferred game at the moment. There are some newer articles which rely on measuring pot odds by bets as a percentage of the pot. (instead of determining the number of small bets in the pot) These are more useful for no limit holdem games. Google "pot odds in poker"

I have always been fantastic at math so was ingrained in me in my youth. I burned out of math by 11th grade but I know the pot odds most of the time automatically from two cards on. Is just instinctual have read some on the subject but is more how are cards hitting opponents to me their play bets studying patterns etc..

I use math with poker but is not all inclusive hope is right word is more involved than pot odds etc.. I read situations well and people live or online dont chase a lot or hope to hit will throw away winners so probably could use more work lol but game is evolving as I am as a player and person.

I adjust to what is going on the situation and use the odds to my favor but throw away a lot and think at times my best decisions even if could have won is what and when I lay down hands.
