calculating outs and odd + pot odds must read
hi im going to try make this as simple as possible
step 1 say we are delt 9,s 10,s and the flop comes Q,c 8,s k,s :
so we will look at what cards make our hand stronger
we know any spade will give flush so thats 2,3,4,5,6,7,J,A =8 cards
or any jack J,c J,h J,d =3 cards
so thats 11 cards to give us a stronger hand.
Using the 4 and 2 method on the flop we TIMES it by 4 to give the percentage ov us hitting and making the strongest hand so 11x4 = 44 % chance ov improving our hand
on the turn comes a 7,d then we calculate how many outs we have now
we know any spade will give flush so thats 2,3,4,5,6,7,J,A =8 cards
or any jack J,c J,h J,d =3 cards
or any 6 6,d 6,c 6h =3 cards
so that is 14 cards that can make out hand better on the river
using the 4 and 2 method we TIMES this by 2 on the turn to give the percentage ov us hitting and making the strongest hand so 14x2 = 28 % chance of improving your hand
say theres 300 in the pot he bets 100 making the pot 400
its 100 for us 2 call making it 4 to 1
if we call 100 that means its 1/5 = 20% ov the pot so we need a 20% chance ov winning to jusify calling
HOPE THIS HAS HELPED ALL OF YOU

its 100 for us 2 call making it 4 to 1
if we call 100 that means its 1/5 = 20% ov the pot so we need a 20% chance ov winning to jusify calling
You're offering a lot of advice for everyone on the forums which is great. I look forward to reading more of them. Do you mind if I set you a few puzzlers in this thread just to put you through your paces?
I can think of two situations where it is the correct decision to fold a royal flush. One in a cash game and one in a tournament. Can you name either of them or do you have any more of your own? Please give your full reasoning for the play. To give a little clue, one involves deep game theory/future expectation and one is purely down to the math. To make it a little harder I will not accept reasoning along the lines of to make it look like you can't play poker for future pots. That would be too simple.
Enjoy
