I\'d like to know some odds
can someone post or direct me to a post that will tell me some important odds for limit play (i.e.- odds that you are the only one holding a pair PF). I am thinking that such knowledge would help me in determining if I have pot odds to call the kind of close decisions I have been faced with. Usually I do a rough estimate in a matter of seconds, but to be honest I'd like to know with a little bit more certainty.

Re: I\'d like to know some odds
If you want a rough estimate of the % you'll make something with two cards to come, you can multiply outs by 4. If you want a rough estimate of your odds with one card to come, divide (46-outs) by number of outs. If you have 6 outs it's 40-6, or 20-3, or around 7-1.
I don't consider knowing math to be that important, and this is coming from an engineering student. I've been down that path, calculating all kinds of odds, and it was just a big waste of time.

Re: I\'d like to know some odds
these types of things aren't crucial to being a winning player....but i find them kind of interesting also.
the appendix in super-system has some interesting numbers and odds..etc. and i enjoy perusing through those, but am also interested in more. again, i'm not sure how much this silly stuff will help your game though....just because the odds dictate such-and-such that no-one else has a pocket-pair doesn't mean nearly as much as the betting patterns of the various players involved in the hand.

Re: I\'d like to know some odds
Yeah this isn't something I would base a majority of my play on, however I do find it fascinating and I find that it IS good for my mental game. If I feel I have odds, I have an easier time being aggressive and at this stage in my play (new player), I need that so I don't kill people who suck me out or play weak-tight.
