Default rule of 13

5 outs = ~8 to 1 (5+8 = 13)
6 outs = ~7 to 1 (6+7 = 13)
7 = ~6 to 1 (7+6 = 13)
8 = ~5 to 1 (8+5 = 13)
9 = ~4 to 1 (9+4 = 13)

this involves some rounding and falls apart outside of this range (4 outs = ~11 to 1) but it's an easy way to quickly recall approximately what odds you are looking for in common situations.

great thread kong!
