Default Re: 3/6: Str8 draw with multiway action.

[ QUOTE ]
That's for 8 outs with 2 cards to come, turn and river. The 1:2.2 simply means you have 100/3.2 % chance of completing your draw by the river. So in a way you own that much of the pot, and all bets that go in on the flop. If 4 bets extra go in, you own 4/3.2 of those extra bets. That's more than the 1 you put in. This is regardless of pot size.

Okay, now I am a little lost. How do you calculate the 1.2:2 and the (100/3.2)%? And how does it translate to the owning 4/3.2.

I'm not sure whether I should ask in the statistics forum or pull out of my stat book (honestly, I'm not a complete dolt when it comes to math, but my brain is on empty right now... just came from a 3 hour meeting).

TIA
