Default Re: odds question

Well, at the poker table you should be operating with odds, because pot odds are much easier to correctly estimate than pot percentages. So, at the table you would actually do the reverse - convert the percentages into odds.

If you know your hand is X% to win the hand, you can quickly do Odds = (100/X - 1) to 1.

If you are 25% to win, odds are 100/25-1 = 3:1. Then check this number against what the pot is laying you.
