David Sklansky introduced the fundamental theorem of poker. This theorem states that each time the player plays the hand in the way in which he would play if he could see the card’s of the rival player, he is at gain. Also, each time the rival player plays the cards in a different way from which he would play if he could see the player’s cards, the player is at gain. This theorem is the basis of many topics of poker strategy. For instance, slow playing and bluffing are illustrations of employing deception to cause the rival players to play in a different manner than they would, in case they were able to see the player’s cards. The fundamental theorem has some exceptions in some multi-way pot conditions. This is described in Morton’s theorem. One of the most crucial concepts in poker strategy is the relation between odds of winning and pot odds. Pot odds are defined as the ratio between the size of the pot to the size of the bet needed to stay in the pot. For example, sometimes a player has to call $10 for an opportunity to win a $40 pot, the pot odds are 4 to 1. The player’s odds of winning have to be better than the pot odds to have a positive expectation
