Re: Calculating Odds and Outs
If I understood your question correctly - bear in mind I am very new to this as well - the percentage way of looking at this goes as follows ( I got this out of Phil Gordon's Little Green Book ) he talks about the rule of 4 & 2 that is you take your number of outs and multiply it by four for the turn % - 5 outs x 4 = 20% to make your hand - same thing for the river only use two instead of four. Then he has the formula stating to calculate your break even % you use the formula - BEP = 1/(pot odds + 1 )so therefor if you have a BEP of at least 20% it is correct to call - hope I got this right -
