[deleted] Yoda’s Jedi Mind trick Yoda was overheard training a Young padadwan learner.......... Padawan: Yoda will you teach me your Jedi mind trick for pot odds Yoda: Teach you I cannot, but show…I will. The whole picture, do you remember? Yes Yoda I remember 1. Understand pot odds 2. Learn pot odds 3. Use pot odds. Yoda: Understand pot odds, do you? Yes Master Yoda i) We calculate our two sides of the scale ii) Changed the right side into the first iii) And compare them. Yoda: Learned pot odds did you? Yes Yoda, I practiced with three hands…… Good, because if practice you have not, confusing this will be….. Yoda will show you……a chalkboard you will open in your mind……. Will it be difficult? First, see Yoda’s trick you must, then decide you can. If, understand what Yoda’s mind trick is first, you do not….then difficult to use it will seem……… 5 examples Yoda will give, yet all the same mind trick they are…. If lost in an example you are, return to the previous one you must…….in order they all are….. .
[deleted] “Calculate the left hand side mentally, you will…….” Yoda‘s Example 1 1500 the pot is, 500 it costs us to call Easily can we see: 1500/500 = 3 so 3 to 1 our pot odds are But mentally like this we must see: 1500..........(500) + (500) + (500) ------. =.. ---------------------- 500 .....................(500) 3 of our opponent’s bets there are, to only 1 of ours So 3 to 1 the pot odds are Yoda‘s Example 2 What if, not so easy are the numbers: 1500 the pot is, and 389 it costs us to call If round 389 to 400 we try: 1500 the pot still is, but 400 now to call 1500......... (400) + (400) + (400) + (300) ----- =..... -------------------------- 400.............................400 Three 400’s we have and almost one more. 3.75 to 1 pot odds we have Yoda thinks When a calculator we use 1500/389 = 3.86 to 1 do we get Yoda is close enough; too old to care he is…… Yoda‘s Example 3 What if difficult both numbers are? 1592 is the pot and 375 does it cost to call 1592 to 1600 we must round, and 375 to 400 1600........ (400) + (400) + (400) + (400) -----.. =..... ------------------------- 400 .......................... 400 Four 400’s there are to our 1 Approximately 4 to 1 we are getting 1592/375 = 4.25 the calculator tells Yoda He is too old to care…….. .
[deleted] “Mentally change the right side into the same form as the left, you will……….” (poker stove you used to find out you and your opponents winning percentages) Yoda’s Example 4 75% your opponents winning percentage is, 25% is your own 75........ (25) + (25) + (25) --- .. = ... -------------- 25 ..................25 Three 25’s to one 25 there are 3 to 1 the odds are on the right side of the scale Yoda’s Example 5 67% your opponents’ winning percentage is, 33% is yours 67 ....... (33) + (33) + (1) ---.. =..... -------------- 33.................. 33 Two 33’s to one 33 there are ………plus 1/33 left (hint very little left over that is) Yoda estimates 2 to 1 Calculator says 2.03 to 1 Yoda doesn’t care .
[deleted] See what Yoda does, do you? Yes but don’t the numbers get harder Master Yoda? Harder they will no get, make them easier a Jedi always does…… What about rule of 2 and 4? No more will Yoda show you today……
Cerberus These are fun. Well done Darb! If you do one with Jar Jar Binks, I'm going to find you and hurt you.
wildbill7145 I will spit on his trodden body if this occurs as well Cerb. After you beat him of course. I've always liked the name 'JarJarBQ'.
