Calculating outs/pot odds

[nuclear500]

I think if you're thinking that long and hard about pot odds and outs in a SnG either:

A) You don't have that quick an understand of outs and percentages based on the common number of outs in a certain situation

B) You can't type "calc" at Start/Run fast enough.

C) You're thinking too much about the numbers.


To answer you question about how to get quicker? Just understand the basic out/percentages. Worrying about preflop calling in a SnG seems like a waste of time to me, worry about it when the flop comes otherwise you will think yourself off your hand before the community even comes.

Besides, even if you put him on a calling range of your 99 raise that say includes KT and it comes Ten high and you've practically already thought yourself off the hand by thinking you only wanted to see babies.


Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but thats my $.02 and its worth about $.01

I would only be thinking about this during bubble play during push/fold situations. Perhaps I wasn't clear.

On the bubble is when pot odds are the least useful.

????? I would think this is where it would be significantly useful. Granted, you would also have to factor your fold equity.

Care to explain this statement further?

He probably means they are useless because of ICM. See the FAQ, read about it, and buy SNGPT.
