Thanks for the post, I'm really bad at estimating the implied odds I need at the table - what's the quickest way?

If the pot is $40 and the bet is $20 to you but you have a 1/6 shot of winning - if you call, the pot is $80, which is four times the bet to you. You therefore need to make $40 on the river on average.
