New Book Unveils Advanced Poker Probability Model for Players

A new book by Dr. Michael Stelzer introduces a sophisticated model for assessing probabilities in Texas Hold’em poker. Released on September 17, 2025, “Mathematical Strategies to Winning No-Limit Texas Hold’em” simplifies complex mathematical concepts into accessible strategies and decision-making tables for players of all skill levels.

The book aims to empower players to evaluate the strength of their hands against potential opponents’ hands without requiring advanced mathematical knowledge. By utilizing pre-calculated probability tables, players can reference expected outcomes, enhancing their decision-making during gameplay.

Dr. Stelzer challenges the traditional “ideal model” often utilized in poker analysis. This conventional approach assumes that a player’s ideal cards are always available in the deck. Instead, his new model incorporates the concept of a “depleted deck,” providing a more realistic evaluation of a player’s chances of winning. Stelzer meticulously analyzes the probability that a desired card has already been dealt to an opponent or removed as a burn card, delivering a more precise understanding of odds in various scenarios.

Comprehensive Insights for Poker Enthusiasts

The book features an in-depth analytical derivation of hand combinations for both two and seven-card setups. This comprehensive guide serves as a valuable resource for serious players and mathematics enthusiasts alike, offering a wealth of tables and formulas to enhance their gameplay.

Dr. Stelzer emphasizes that while probability theorems alone may not guarantee success in a Texas Hold’em tournament, his book is designed to provide readers with practical ideas and rule-of-thumb advice. “Although I don’t believe that probability theorems alone are enough to win a Texas Hold’em tournament,” he stated, “this text is written to hopefully give you some ideas and rule-of-thumb advice to help you at your next game.”

The author, who holds both a master’s and a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, brings a wealth of expertise to his work. His background in electrical engineering and mathematical modeling informs his approach to poker probability. Dr. Stelzer has previously designed mathematical models for physical systems, applying that analytical rigor to the world of poker.
