Yes pleaseIf you want, I could put in a couple examples takin' from HH's in Tournaments to show you how I use it.

I'm not sure on the SnG's being solved caper that goes around, for one in the medium/high buy-ins the vast majority are reg filled, yet they still compete agaisn't each other and I'm sure the majority have a huge understand of the shove/fold/ICM of STT's.
Putting players on ranges gets easier over time.I wish I could motivate myself to use pokerstove like that for sessions afterwards.
All this equity and chip $ equity etc etc all just baffles me.
this ^ stuff is crucial for tournament play
I basically go for odds in multi-way pots and "feel" headsup in a pot or in general against someone.
So when you're faced with a decision, ie. you raise in LP & SB shoves, pot's givin' you 1.3 to1 for ~1/2 your stack.... aren't you at all curious as to what eq you'd need for the call to be +cEV? Or stuff like, eMP raises.. MP flats... you shove 16bb's in LP.. & MP makes the call (but it seems like kind of a loose call to you in your own opinion... aren't you at all curious to find out if their call was in fact too loose... or that it wasn't).
^ real basic examples... but just sayin'....
. I couldn't ever, or ever see any people where we're talking "pros" thinking of tournament equity and so forth.
.. really? well what do you think some of them are doing when they're sitting there pondering over whether to make the call or not? (although in many spots (obv) they'll know prior to making the raise (or re-raise) as they've likely guesstimated in advance (real shytty wording.. but I'm thinkin' you'll get what I'm sayin')
If they think they're ahead, they will call, regardless.
so they won't call if they're behind but are getting the right price to call?
If they think they can bust or play someone, rather than the cards, I'm sure they do this than think in pokerstove terms.
Very often stack sizes will determine the play.
I think it all confuses me to much and far to much to take in at times besides which, someones actual range might completly differ, if they change their game play at various points in a tournament, ie: limp/shove/call raise with Aces, shove 7,2 of suit and so forth, you would never ever get a real range of what this play is doing.
Playin' a bunch of tourneys this morning/aft. but I'll try to post a couple of examples later on.(of how I'm typically using it for tournament situations)Yes please

Been real busy & will be for next couple of days. Will try to post a few soon.I'd be interested to see these examples too, buddy

Do the pros use math in their game?
Does a bear shyt in the woods?
When I need to compute 4+11, I don't need to actually do the math, I can answer 15 'instinctively". What really happens is that my brain has enough repeated experience of this kind of things to provide the correct answer without requiring conscient thought. But it's still math.
Same for poker pros playing poker, obviously.
^this
so actually they are not doing a lot of math, more recalling answers.
Like darts players won't multiply 3x17, they know treble seventeen is 51.
they also know most combinations of three darts, like treble 19+15+double top is 'idk whatever' you can do the math, because they know all the combinations needed to make a finish from experience.
Bar workers also use less math because they know the price of common groups of drinks. 1 beer, 2 beers, 3 beers; 2 beers + 2 cokes etc. :beer:
So it should be with experienced poker players that they know the answer at a glance without doing any math.
They also know everyones chip count unless you mess with them by stacking your chips in irregular piles
So in other words of course they use math. Everyone who argues that they are instead using "feel", "talent", "instinct" blah blah blah are missing the point that all of those things are built upon a base of mathematical knowledge of the game.
