reverseImpliedOddsMaxFutureLoss

Toy reverse-implied ceiling (max future loss when losing).

reverseImpliedOddsMaxFutureLoss(potBeforeCall: number, toCall: number, equity: 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

Estimate a ceiling on extra chips you might lose on future streets when you are behind but the call is still barely +EV today—reverse implied odds in chip terms. Compare to stack depth before calling dominated draws.

How to use

const pot = 100;
const toCall = 50;
const equity = 0.32;

const maxLoss = poker.reverseImpliedOddsMaxFutureLoss(pot, toCall, equity);
console.log('max future loss ceiling:', maxLoss);

const impliedNeed = poker.impliedBreakevenFutureWin(pot, toCall, 0.22);
console.log('implied win needed at 22%:', impliedNeed);
