Default Re: First to Act Post Flop - Counting outs

I use (and you should use) outs to determine whether a call (or bet in this case) is justified by the pot odds. That is the sole purpose of knowing how many "outs" you have. Yes, I am mixing the two concepts and that is intentional. To me, thinking about pot equity during a hand is unintuitive and impractical. Thinking about outs and corresponding pot odds requirements is much simpler, and probably more accurate.

I came to the conclusion that 10% fold chance equals 4 outs because 4 "standard" outs gives you about a 10% chance of hitting your card. Fairly simple, and, I believe, correct.
