Well my questions are more specific to Omaha 8. I guess I get confused with calculating my outs in relation to the pot.
Say for example I have high cards only such as A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. The flop comes Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I calculate my outs as being 3 outs for the whole pot and 9 outs for half the pot. This just confuses me. Do I have to know two calculations? - there has to be a better way.
Then this article at the following link only proceeded to confuse me. Maybe I have the whole pot odds thing wrong.

Could you have a look at it and tell me what you think?
When I work out my pot odds in Hold 'em I do it on a next card only basis. I forget about the earlier betting rounds. For example, on the flop I have a four flush. I have nine outs - I will times that by 2 and I have close to 1 in 5 chance of hitting next card. If the pot is sufficient in size I stay. Then I'll do the whole process again to see if I should stay for the river. Maybe I'm doing them all wrong, so please let me know if I am.
Thanks,
Max
