Default Re: Thanks guys.

Appreciated.

I rather liked his little formula to determine whether to chase or not:


If Outs x [(big bets + n) +1] > 46 then call.

(n is the additional number of big bets you can make if you get your hand)

Any problem using this in NL?

Thanks again,
Z.

The problem in NL is that at any point anyone with a sufficiently large stack can ruin your odds. You could bet your flush draw, get 5 callers (meaning that you are getting good value on your money), and then the 6th guy could bet the pot and ruin your drawing odds - now you are geting 2-1 on a 4-1 shot and have to fold. In limit, it usually takes a raise and a re-raise to ruin your odds (and sometimes that not even enough).
