Default Re: Need help learning to calculate odds , outs and all that stuff

Very Basic

Step 1) Get really good at figuring your outs.
Step 2) Figure out your chance to win on the next card (multiply outs by 2). If a player is all-in multiply by 4. (these are 'tricks' used to approximate the percentage win which is generally accurate.)
Step 3) Figure out pot size (it's given on most sites)
Step 4) Divide Bet Size by Pot Size (Bet/Pot) - pot odds equivolent.
Step 5) Compare Step 4 to Step 2. Call if 2 is larger than 4.
Step 6) Consider implied/reverse implied odds
Step 7) Call if good odds based on all above.

Not sure if that helps or not. If inaccurate, I'll be corrected I'm sure.
