An Introduction to the Theory and Practice of Poker (2020)

This intersession course aims to take students from novices who may know nothing about poker to above average players, in two weeks. The course will utilize hand examples and discussions of common poker situations to study the fundamentals of the game. The math, combinatoric, and game-theoretical aspects of poker will be covered, with practical examples of every concept. Lectures will focus on core concepts in Texas Hold `em, with an emphasis on cash games. Tournament-specific concepts will be covered towards the end. There will be a guest lecture by 2005 WSOP Main Event runner up Steve Dannenmann, whose live tournament winnings exceed $4 million. The course culminated with a poker tournament at the instructor’s home at the end of intersession.
