| The above
referenced chart will help you determine the odds against improving
your hand on the turn and/or the river. When playing online
you can either post this chart next to your computer or use some of
the Odds Calculators that are available. However, when playing
in a live game you must memorize these odds. Another way to
determine your odds, is to multiply your outs times 4 (if the turn
and river are yet to come) or times 2 (if there is only 1 card left
to come). Remember, that this Odds
Chart can also be useful to determine the size of the bet you want
to make. For example, if you put your opponent on a hand that
suggests that he needs only 1 card to make his hand with two cards
to be seen, then you must bet more than 4.3% to make calling you or
raising you incorrect. |
