Something I never thougt of was counting the bets. So if there are 10 bets in the pot after the flop and there are 3 bets to me to call before the turn my pot odds are a little more than 3:1?

essentially yes.

And I could practice calculating this when I'm not in a hand.

you need to be doing something besides staring at the cocktail waitresses....

Will this work in No-Limit or only structured games?

[/ QUOTE ]

sorry, limit only. However, in most no limit games the number of bets and raises should be smaller, making it easier to keep track of. You may be on one of those nl games that feature everyone calling the bb, or perhaps someone getting aggressive and doing a min raise. Then just multiply the number of players on the flop times the amount of the BB/raise. Besides, from my understanding of NL, its far more important to have a general idea of your opponents stack size, as the amount of the pot is often easily known for at least the purpose of pot odds and what not.
