Poker EV is complex just because poker is a complex game. We have learned a few things about which starting hands that works well in general, but there are always more things to care about. How to think about EV and using the given informationĮV tells us when to play and when to pass. As before, the focus lies on starting hands and here we have a collection of marginal hands (the numbers are based on the same information as mentioned above).
The second diagram shows us an example of +EV (positive expected value) and -EV (negative expected value). This diagram shows the best starting hands in Texas hold'em and their EV based on the amount of big blinds they win in the long run (the numbers are based on over 100 million dealt pocket cards played at full tables in Poker Room). One important area in poker that varies from positive to negative EV is the starting hands. EV in poker can be measured in many ways - some ways less exact than others.
EV ( expected value) is one of the most important aspects in all sorts of gambling.
