Default Re: Memorizing odds and working out pot odds

I think it's best to understand how to calculate rather than just memorizing charts.

Given the example you gave in your post, can you work out your pot odds given you hold four to a flush after the flop? How about if you hold top-pair with top-kicker? See if you can work it out here. You may understand things better than you think you do.

We'll help if you get stuck.

Definately learn to calculate the odds, it gets quicker as you repeat it. After a while of doing it it'll get easier and you'll become quicker at it.
Pot odds don't have to be spot on to the exact number, in the example you gave, if the pot is 111 and someone bets 106, its 106 for us to call into a 217 pot so its roughly 2:1.
Give examples and I'm sure anyone here will help you out if you get stuck.
