Re: Pot Odds example/Playing Draws Hard

Here is a useful table for pot odds. You don't necessarily need to memorise the whole table but I would certainly suggest remember the most common ones which are highlighted.



Here is a link to the article this was lifted from...

Oh and this is cool cos it allows me to show I was on the ball. There is a mistake in the article. I emailed Lou Krieger to tell him about this and he said oh aye right enough so there is........this was ages ago and yet still the mistake remains unchanged ! The mistake is to do with this sentence...

If you have only four outs, our quick proximate measure (4 outs x 2 + 2 = 10) is very close to the actual figure of 10.5.
He's mixed up the odds with the percentage......the actual figure is 8.7, not 10.5 as that's the odds against not the percentage. Just a small mistake but it may end up confusing people so thought I should mention it.
