Default Re: Quick ? about pot odds percentage and bets

The flop has come. You have 10 outs that give you the situational nuts.

47 unseen cards left.

10/47 = 0.21

1/4.7 = 3.7:1

This is to hit your card on the turn. You need to be getting better than 3.7:1 to call to your draw, aka any odds greater than 3.7:1. For instance, if the pot was giving you 4:1, you would call. If the pot was giving you 2:1, you would fold.

10/47 + 10/46 = 0.21 + 0.22 = 0.43

This is your % to hit by the river. Keep this in mind when deciding whether or not to call the flop bet.
