Greetings 2+2!

Hello, 2+2

In the somewhat recent past I was in AC and decided to join a Texas Hold’em tourney. The first night I made the final table and placed 5th, went back two nights later and took 1st. SOOooo naturally I have a poker gift (so I thought). I am going mad my mind is spinning I am questioning my-self on how could this be possible I am a PRO I AM READY FOR WSOP. Throw 200 bucks down on Full Tilt and I AM READY!! Needless to say I get owned not all at once but my money went to zero. I never herd of bankroll management, position, or pot odds etc… so set forth to educate myself and find out how I could have been so misfortunate I order “Theory of Poker”, “ “Hold’em poker for Advance Players” since I cant be a beginner, (hey I went to AC and destroyed them) and “Book of Poker Tells”… no beginner stuff for me I am ALMOST ready for WSOP.

So I noticed the website on the books and have been crawling around the forums under the radar for some time now. MAN I GOT LUCKY AS HELL. What a NOOB I am. Anyhow I have been studying TOP and almost finished reading HP for AP. Bought HOH vI and will be reading that next while studying HP for AP.

Do joined the forums because I think they have a lot to offer and plan on becoming a regular poster to learn and help when I can…


So now I am having a problem with odds and counting the percentage or probability on getting certain cards. How do you get the outs on a 3card flush or strait? Lets say you have (I will mess with the hand converter soon) Qh Js and the flop is 9h Jh As. I understand how to count the odds to make a set but with the Ace on the playing field, I want to calculate the possibility of the strait or flush hitting as well. How would you go about doing this?

Oh sorry for the long post and my future posts will not be this long.
