Any sites with pot odds quizes?

Thanks for the replies. What I'm trying to do learn is my exact outs and half outs. I was hoping to find something like a quiz saying "how many outs do you have" then I can compare my answer.

here's something you can try.
go to the microlimits forums. find a handhistory somebody is looking for help on. Then think to yourself, is the 'hero' behind? How many outs does he have? Just work it out like that. rinse,repeat.

1 Overcard: 1.5
backdoor flush: 1.5
backdoor straight: 1

If you had A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], the flop comes: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

You have 5.5 outs. Then to further discount, I round down rather then up. 5 outs total.

Always discount outs. In the example above, Someone could hold: AK/AJ/A2s/A6s/QJ
Your drawing to a single pair, and they are drawing to two pair. You could also already be behind: JJ/22/66

You should edit this so some beginners don't get confused.

Basically if you have AK as a hole cards there are 3 Aces & 3 Kings left in the deck. 6 outs, however you won't win everytime you hit one of those cards. Discounting an Out means you reduce the number of outs you actually have to acount for the times when you do hit your card and lose. It has been suggested that drawing to an Overcard should be counted as 1.5 outs rather then 3. If your drawing to 2 overcards, count it as 3 outs.

That's really not what I meant. Read what I quoted again, you have one overcard counting as 1.5 outs which is wrong and could confuse some noobs.

I tried to edit and it said I no longer can.
As long as someone reads the posts that follow I hope they understand what I meant.
Note that I assumed the overcard draw was to a pair. If it completes a straight or something, assign it the full 3 outs.

Also note that when playing short handed you don't need to discount as much. I assumed this was full ring.

1337 skills - if this still seems wrong, please just clarify it for them. Hell I tried.

This doesn't make sense either. If you're drawing to 2 overcards your draw would be worth about 1 out. Did you mean that your 2 hole cards are overcards to the flop?

I meant that both hole cards were overcards to the flop.
