Hello Mike!

Have you had a chance to look over the math tables I sent you a few days ago?

Hi, Harold --

Yes, I did look over your tables and checked out a couple data points, too. Those were accurate, and, so -- if you'd like -- I'd include your in a bew MCU statistical review section, so others can scrutinize them for glitches. Later, I'd move them to a permanent section for statistical contributions.

Keep in mind that when I complete my book on poker odds, I'll probably include my own statistical distribution charts on seven-card games through three, four, five, six, and seven random cards (not specifically aimed at "435," but the same stats).

I've already published some of this work, but I particularly like the way you've organized your tables. It is excellent and I'm honored that you took the time to bring it to my attention. It is, indeed, worthy of including in the MCU statistical library, should you choose to donate it to our growing pool of knowledge.

Great work!

Straight Flushes,
Mike Caro

Mike,

I greatly appreciate your favorable commnents on my contribution to the mathematics of poker. You are free to use the data any of your future publication and post the the tables in the MCU Library with proper acknowledgement to me as is customary. Data for 4 card starting hands was lacking so I undertook the calculations of curiosty so I could compare stud 435 to trad stud. You are also free to give copies of the tables in anyone such as students and other poker players who might have an interest in the data.

What is your thoughts on the potential for action (PFA) parameter? Note that it can be used to gauge whether a game is loose or tight. A tight player in a trad stud game should call the bring-in no more than 16 % of the time for the high version. In a very tight game the math justifies only 1 or 2 players calling the bring-in. Similiar comments apply to low and high-low for both variations of these stud games. The PFA could also used to compare Texas Hold'em to
7 stud or Omaha for example.

Next time your in a poker game, why don't you request to play a few rounds of stud 435 just to gauge player reaction.

Harold
