Default Re: Opponents improving

I have a simple system I use for calculating odds. The more outs you have the less acurate it gets.

X*Y*2=%chance you'll hit

X is your number of outs, y is the number of cards yet to come.

Thus, if an opponent has pair the flop, but you have an overpair, he has 5 outs and 2 more cards to come. He has a 20% chance of catching. This system undervalues few outs and overvalues many outs, but it gives you a rough estimate.
