Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

1 Card to Come Formula:
Odds Against = (Decksize - Outs) / outs
this is the only formula required to calculate draw odds with 1 card to come after the flop!
Let's assume that you flopped a 4flush...what should the Potsize(aka,"pot odds") be to make it correct to call? (note: Potsize must be equal or greater than the Draw Odds{aka,"odds against"} to warrant a call)
You have 9 outs so...
Odds Against = (47-9)/9
= 38/9
= 4.22
Answer: The odds against completing your 4flush on the Turn(1 card to come) is 4.22 to 1 against. So the Potsize(pot odds) must be about 4 small bets or greater for it to be correct to chase to the Turn. (note: the odds on the river is almost exactly the same as on the Turn; but your Potsize after the Turn is reduced by 1/2!!!)

if you know how many outs you have you can get a close estimate of your odds of completing your hand by a simple math equations.
post flop = outs x 4
post turn = outs x 2 +-1 (as you can see, the post turn calc is less accurate but will give a a quick sense of your chances anyway).
