I'll give a simple example to try to demonstrate the point.

[B][U]Your cards 9c Tc[/U][/B]

[B][U]Flop Ad 8h 7s[/U][/B]

Player 1 bets £10
All other players fold
It's your turn to act
The total money in the pot is $30 (I'm being imaginative here and assuming there were some preflop bets)

You therefore have 8 outs (6h 6c 6d 6s Jh Jc Jd Js). 8 x 2 = 16
You've therefore got a 16% (odds of 5.25 to 1) chance of hitting a 6 or J on the turn

You need to bet $10 to win $30 - so your odds are 3 to 1.

[B]Throw it away. You are getting 3/1 on a 5.25/1 shot.[/B]

You have a 32% chance (2 to 1) of hitting your open ended straight by the river (8 outs x 4 = 32%) [B]but don't even think about it unless either you or the villain is all in. [/B]If you bet on the turn, based on a 32% chance of hitting your straight by the river, there could be another bet on the river which will make a complete dogs breakfast of the above calculations!

Hope this helps a bit.
