Poker Odds

Odds of hitting hands, I may be wrong if so let me know but this is how I figure them:

Post flop w/ two cards to come:

up to 8 outs = outs times 4 for example

7 outs = 7x4 = 28%
6 outs = 6x4 = 24%

Over 8 outs

outs X 4 - (the difference from 8)

10 x 4 - (10 - 8) = 38%
15 X 4 - (15-8) = 53%

With just the river outs X 4

6 X 4 =24%
2 x 4 = 8%

I believe this formula gives you the closest odds possible, with the quickest way to figure them.

If anyone can help me with an easy way to figure preflop odds I would appreciate it.

Your postflop with 2 cards 2 come odds are very exact. With over 8 outs you substract difference from 8.

But im not sure what you ment with the river outs thing.

You multiply your outs by 4 for just the river card to come? That doesnt seem right.

I think its by 2 and you substract from 8 too.

For example hitting a flush with one cards to go:

9X2 - 1= 17%

What kind of preflop odds are you referring to? The likelyhood of hitting different hands on the flop is usually not something you calculate in your head at the table.

I find it much easier to remember the % for number of outs. The calculations you give are correct within 1-2%, which is close enough for "Tablemath," but you'll find yourself naturally remembering the key numbers anyway (OESD, FD, 1st hit, 2nd hit, etc).

I think if you're a donk who calls with the wrong odds your chances of catching go up too.
