Message: [QUOTE="naruto_miu, post: 928041, member: 23481"] Ok, look first and foremost, I know, I play alot, but, believe it or not, I have no clue how to properlly calculate pot odds. I'll tell you as much as I know, and I'll let the rest of you handle the rest for me, because this shit is driving my head in circles. IF we hold an O/E/SD, (Eg) 56 in our hand, flop is 78A rainbow, this means we got to either hit a 9 or a 4 there-fore giving us 8 outs, ok, if the odds of hitting this are about 32%, then that means out of 100 times this happens, we only win about 32% of the time (correct)? same situation, but in a cash game, if the pot is $80 and guy bets $20 then that means it would cost us 20 to win $120, correct? 80+20+20=120, breaking this down gives us 1:6, hence forth my problem, wtf is 1:6, I know it's a ratio, but my problem is coverting this ratio into a percentage. Next question when calculating odds do we take into consideration other ppl's cards? What I mean is lets say it's FR, 9 to a table, if everyone gets 2 cards in a 52 card game then that would mean 18 cards are gone,there-fore the remaining cards in the deck is 52-18=34, now take the same example above that gines us 8 cards to hit out of 30cards correct? (I've just taken the burn and fkop also, hence 30), now this is where it really confuses me 8/30 gives us 3.75:1 (what this number is I have no clue? do this backwards, and you come up with 26.6%, as you can see there's multiple questions in the 2nd one but what kills me is the reversal of odds, why is it the bottom end came up with 26.6%, and what is the 3.75 number, plz correct me, because the only odds of calculation I know is the top percentage wise, and that's been killing me at the tables:D [/QUOTE]
