GaF Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Re: working out pot odds There's a good article in this months (May) Poker Player magazine bit Nick Wetherall - had a quick look on their web site, but doesn't seem to be there yet - imagine it will be online soon though :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonjon Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 Re: working out pot odds yeah, i got this months pokerplayer (1st time buying it), and i must say it was a good buy:ok It was this article that got me intrigued on the matter. Was wondering if there is a way to calculate it quickly, like a spreadsheet or software, till i get practice and can calculate without it. my Maths GCSE is abit crap:cry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guesswest Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Re: working out pot odds If you want software to do it for you, texas calculatem is probably still the best - get it from cnet.com or probably many other places. If it's so that you can eventually learn to do it in your head, best bet is likely just to use a calculator - anything else and you're not forced to work it out yourself.

DC Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Re: working out pot odds Hi Lemonjon, Once you can calculate the number of outs you have, apply the 4 - 2 rule. This website will explain it better than me. Good luck, See ya on the table on Tuesday night! http://casinogambling.about.com/library/weekly/aa050103.htm Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Re: working out pot odds A good quick way to calculate it is .... 1) assess the number of outs you have (feel free to count 1/2 an out if you assess a card has a 50% chance of winning a hand) 2) Multiply this by 2 for rough chance of hitting with one extra card (more exact is to multiply by 2 then add 10%, though this degree of accuracy isn't necessary IMO) - multiply by 4 for a rough estimation of hitting in 2 cards So if you have a nut flush draw - 9 outs ...... that's roughly 18% (19.8% adding 10% for increased accuracy) to hit with 1 card to come or 36% to hit with 4 cards to come.........comparing that to the table in Poker Player mag - it is actually 19.6% and 35% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
