Re: Pot odds drill
I always discount my outs on the turn as well with the two spades, figuring Jack, 10 or 9 of spades might be not be good 20% of the time = about half an out total reduced. Am I reducing too much? Plus, unless he is very agressive, I'll cut my overcard outs in half with the paired board, giving me 2.5 outs in an 7bb pot. It becomes an easy fold. This assumes sb is passive though. Even implied odds require reads.
If he's agressive, I'll give myself 4 outs for the overs and 3 for the straight, but reduce it a full out as he's agressive and more likely to hold a non pair, (two spades), with a total of 6 outs and an easy call. I fear an overpair from a passive player more than being reverse dominated from an agressive player. Am I overthinking and / or calculating my outs the wrong way? I'm sure the answer to both questions is yes. Been meaning to ask about this.
