A recent post made me start thinking about my pot odds a little more..
Just wondering if anyone has some cliff notes on good odds stats to memorize for NL play.
I know how to calculate pot odds away from the table, but at the table, I use more of an approximation system.
Just wondering what stats you feel are worth memorizing for quicker calcuation at the table?
For example, straight + flush draw is usually about 15 outs or will hit 1/3 of the time. So you need to be getting pot odds of 2:1 or better to make a call.
Flush will hit about ~20% of time so you need about ~3:1 to make a call here
OESD will hit ~17% so you need ~4:1 here
pair + flush is ?? to win
pair + straight is ??
A set will hit about 7.5 in 1 times so you need to be able to win about 7x the bet to make a call
gutshot + overs is ??
ect. ect.
What situations do you commonly find yourself in where you need to calcuate simple pot odds? These are just a few off the top of my head that I currently know/use almost daily.
