FORMULA: SPR = effective stack / money in pot = risk / reward
If there wereR$10 in the pot and the 🏧 remaining effective stack sizeR$100, then the SPR in this situation would be 10.
What does this mean? Essentially, SPR helps create 🏧 an easy-to-use metric for how committed you should be to the pot for your given hand, helping simplify your post-flop 🏧 decision making to some degree.
The lower the SPR, the more committed you’re going to have to be to the pot 🏧 and getting your money all-in with a broader range of value hands than if the SPR was deeper.
Different SPRs are 🏧 going to call for different strategies, and the purpose of this article is to help illuminate how varying SPRs should 🏧 be accounted for in various situations during gameplay.
