Ok I started playing the really low limits of poker so I could tune my hold’em game up.  The idea was I wanted to practice counting outs and calculating pot odds in LIMIT poker.  I have also been following Bill Chen, Matt Harilenko, and Jerrod Ankeman.  Harilenko plays at Fulltilt on the limit side of hold’em when he can get a game up.  He likes the nosebleed stakes. 

All of these guys have or are working for an options trading firm called Susquahanna Partners.  They teach poker there as a skill needed to do well buying puts and calls.

These boys have racked up some impressive numbers using a formula Bill Chen invented to assess starting hands.  Im impressed with it and have purchased Chen’s book “The mathmatics of Poker” from ye ol Amazon and am now waiting for my used copy to arrive. Tonite I played for a total of three Hours for a total income of $5.08 on both PS and FT which I consider great due to my variance during the games. I will keep ya posted.  I’m also reading another book by another Susquahanna member, King Yao entitled “Weighing the Odds in Poker”.  He is into baseball betting and can be found on 2+2 magazine.

All of these guys are math nerds who play well in the game theroy area.  They are aggressive players whose Mommies, Im quite sure, dont like the games they play.
