bluffToValueRatio

Polarized river combo ratio bet / (pot + 2×bet).

bluffToValueRatio(potBeforeBet: number, betSize: number): number

Import

const poker = require('poker-calculations');

ESM (Node):

import { createRequire } from 'module';
const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);
const poker = require('poker-calculations');

When to use

Balance bluff combos vs value combos on a polarized river bet in the toy model. Ratio increases with bet size relative to pot—study charts use this to explain why overbets need fewer bluffs per value hand.

How to use

const pot = 100;
const bet = 75;

const b2v = poker.bluffToValueRatio(pot, bet);
console.log('bluff:value combo ratio', b2v);

const v2b = poker.valueToBluffRatio(pot, bet);
console.log('value:bluff', v2b);
