displaying pot odds w. PT?
(Noob-disclaimer: First of, I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything about it when I searched at least. I'm but a humble beginner seeking your counsel.)
How do you display pot odds with PT and Gametime+ and/or Poker Ace HUD? Memorizing the tables for outs on the turn and river is easy enough to do myself, but I'd like to see what kind of odds I'm getting on my money without having to do the math myself. Time to read up on speed math or is there something in PT I'm missing? /Sincerely, Andy

Re: displaying pot odds w. PT?
You could probably make a script to do it, but I would recommend using my ever-favorite "fraction method" instead of the ratio method.
In other words, look at the size of the pot (plus any bets out), add what you need to call to it, and then put what you need to call over that number. Ex: $50 in the pot. Villain bets $25 to you. Thus, your pot odds are $25 divided by ($50+$25+$25), which equals 25%. You must win the pot 25% of the time or better to break even or win. For me this works much faster than the ratio method and requires less memorization. It is also much more arithmetic-friendly.

Re: displaying pot odds w. PT?
I also prefer numbers in percent since I'm more familiar with mathematics than sport betting odds. What you are describing is way I do it now.
I agree, it isn't that hard to do, but it does consume some time, time that I'd rather spend on other aspects of my decision making, especially when multi tableing. What I want to know is if there is a script or a function that does this automatically?
