Message: [QUOTE="quintass, post: 928736, member: 8049"] Generally, you need to compare your pot odds with your hand odds (odds of you making the hand). Your hand odds must be LESS than the pot odds to call the bet. Figuring your hand odds after flop: outs x 4 divide that into 100 take away 1 eg. >>>> 5 outs x 4 = 20, divided into 100 = 5, minus 1 = 4 (4:1) In the example above your odds of making the hand by the river are 4:1 So if your pot odds are higher than 4:1, you may want to call the bet! (same formula after the turn, just multilply your outs by 2 instead of 4) A quick shortcut to figuring outs is to remember the "984" rule: 9 outs with a 4 flush draw 8 outs with an open end straight draw 4 outs with and inside straight draw then just multilpy those by 4 or 2 :eek: [/QUOTE]
