Question to the Pros re: Percentages of hitting your Outs???

A question to the Pros / experienced winning players:

When you learnt / memorised the "standard chart" for odds of hitting your outs (on the turn & river)- how "accurately" did you learn them?

ie Did you learn the exact figures as calculated? (ie 9 Outs= 1.86/1 (34.97%) on the Flop)

Or did you just learn 9 Outs= 1.9/1 (35%)???


I am going to learn the chart for 1-18 Outs this week. I don't mind learning the exact figures- but is it REALLY going to make that much of a difference????

I only want to learn 1 set of figures- so I would really appreciate you input into which ones I should learn.

Many thanks,
Ian

Approximations are fine, but It's probably easier to remember them in odds form -- it's then much easier to compare the pot-size to the bet and see if you have odds to call.

I read in a book (cant remember which one) that you can use a quick method to give you a very rough idea of your % of hitting.

Basically on the flop you multiply your no of outs by 4 to give the % chance of hitting by the river

On the turn you multiply by 2.2 to give the % chance of hitting on the river


For example if you have 9 outs on the flop you can quickly tell that it is approximatly 36% to hit by the river.

Its not entirely accurate but it works well enough

its a really fine detail that has no important yet, providing you have a chart infront of you.

i know 6 outs is about 7:1, I dont remember 6.7:1

I usally use the 2cards to come = x4
1 card to come = x2

So 9 outs = 18% with 1 card to come, 36% with 2cards to come(So 36% equity from the flop).

Read SSH instead of putting time into remembering a chart mate, You'll learn them as you play providing you keep a chart infront of you.

2/4 rule is what I use for a good estimate...never remembered a chart

Just put an outs chart in front of you, with a starting hands chart, memorization is automatic. give it a few k hands and notice how you can regurgitate any probability at will.
