Re: odds question
Let's take a more simple example. You have 3:1 pot odds to call an all-in. To make the call correct, you need to win 1 out of every 4 times. (3:1 means you lose 3 and win 1 in every four attempts). So winning one out of 4 is 1/4*100% or 25% of the time.
Thus, your hand needs to at least 25% to win. A nut flush draw on the flop is 35% to win so a call would be correct.
This a case of converting pot odds or any odds to a percentage. If you are a 2:1 underdog that means you will only win 33% of the time (100/(2+1)).
