Odds question



Posted Fri Nov 19, 2004 2:51 pm GMT by bloodshotx
Hello all.

First time poster, long time reader.

I have a simple question about calculating odds in game.

I calculate odd's based on how many outs are left. I know its different for each flop/turn/river, however don't most people round.

The calculation i have been going buy is outs*2% per card.

So if im holding A,2 and im going for a straight and the flop looks like this:
3,4,10 My chances to hit a 5 are 4*2% or 8% on the turn. Overall it would be 15% chance on both the turn and river.

I don't think most people calculate odds to the tenth of percent in games.

Please tell me if my logic is incorrect.
