- [Counting the deck](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-peacefulmind43/lectures/week-02/): Combinatorics before probability — how many starting hands there really are, and why the answer depends on what you're counting

- [Expected value and variance](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-peacefulmind43/lectures/week-04/): Formalizing EV beyond one hand, why a correct call still loses most of the time it's made, and why sample size is doing more work than it looks
- [Position and the value of information](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-peacefulmind43/lectures/week-05/): A clean decision-theory result — the value of perfect information — used to put a number on why acting last is worth something
- [Range reading and Bayesian updating](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-peacefulmind43/lectures/week-06/): Turning a partial signal — a bet size, not a revealed hand — into an updated probability, and watching it flip last week's call into a fold

- [GTO versus exploitative play](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-peacefulmind43/lectures/week-08/): What "unexploitable" actually means, formalized as a zero-exploitability property of week 7's equilibrium, versus the higher-EV but riskier alternative of deviating to exploit a fixed opponent
- [Multi-way pots](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-peacefulmind43/lectures/week-09/): Which of this course's two-player results survive a third player at the table, tested against a real Monte Carlo simulation rather than assumed
- [Tournament equity and the Independent Chip Model](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-peacefulmind43/lectures/week-10/): Why a chip isn't worth a dollar once elimination is on the table, made precise with the standard recursive ICM calculation and checked against the naive chip-proportional model it's often confused with
- [Bankroll management and the Kelly criterion](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-peacefulmind43/lectures/week-11/): Why the size of a bet matters even when its EV is fixed and positive, formalized as maximizing long-run exponential growth rather than per-bet expectation
- [Capstone: how much of good poker intuition can be formalized](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-peacefulmind43/lectures/week-12/): Grading the semester's own four promises, solving the real Kuhn poker equilibrium and checking it against the published result, and naming what stayed outside every tool this course built
- [People](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-peacefulmind43/people/): Who teaches the course, and how to reach them.
- [Dashiell Okafor](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-peacefulmind43/people/dashiell-okafor/): A tutor running the weekly Problem Sessions, where every equity and EV figure from lecture gets checked by hand before anyone is allowed to trust it.
- [Renata Sokal](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-peacefulmind43/people/renata-sokal/): The founding convenor, who set the course's central wager — that a semester of formal poker theory can turn table intuition into checkable mathematics.
