Hull's Poker Work Book for Math Geeks Question

Kyle S

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting, so my apologies if this is the wrong place or format. I just ordered Hull's "Poker Work Book for Math Geeks" and am reading the authorized preview while I wait for my copy. While working through some of the examples, I was unable to figure out what the "Makeup" figure is. For example, on page 96, it says "Profit: $84, Makeup: $-13". What is the makeup, and what is the significance of it being -$13 in this example.

Thanks.

rotator cuff surgery recovery: responses brief

will be explained in book.

$20 to call with 20% equity (flush draw)

will miss 4 times and hit once

that is $80 chasing

there is $50 in the pot now. you need to makeup $30 to break even. it is another way to think about implied odds

I just started flipping through this book as well.

I've never played poker against @Doug Hull , yet he still gets all of my money through other ventures.

Wow thanks. I look forward to reading the rest of the book. (Found out I didn't actually post this comment, just saved it as a draft)

In my medical opinion, this injury was likely caused by excessive 3-betting, bombing over limpers, and the high reps of chip raking motions.

Hell, you just described my physical therapy plan once these perkoset run out. Lol
