I like too much having mathematic infos as support for decisions and they can be easier.

.....When I get a pocket pair, how many chances do I have to hit a set on flop? I know a very easy way to get this information, multiply your outs for how many cards on board you expect, then multiply for 2 and you will find a percentage close that you want to find.
.....For example, You get 22, so if you multiply "2 outs x 3 cards on flop x 2% of each card on board" you will have as result the number "12", it means your 22 hits a set on flop close to 12% of flops.
.....Let's suppose you have 22 but flop is A93 rainbow, you want to know what is your chance of setting on turn, you multiply "2 outs x 1 card on turn x 2%", it is 4% . When you have to call a all in pre-flop, you multiply "2 outs x 5 cards of all streets on board x 2%" you will find 20%. So I guess it was already possible understand it.
.....You can use that information to match with pot odds for calculating equity, but in most cases you will need to use implied odds, it means you have to match 1)how many chances for a set hero has, 2)how many chips hero has, 3)how many chips villain has, 4)how many chips you can make villain put in the table when you hits you value.
.....For value, playing pocket pairs needs to obey some conditions 1) A pocket pair sets close to 12% of flops, 2) The sum of chips that hero puts on the table have to be at most 12% of himself stack, 3)The stack of vilain have to be at least 100% of a 12% of chips placed in the pot for hero. 4) Hero needs to be able to getting extract the expected chips of the villain.
.....For example, Hero has 30bb with 22, vilain with 10bb raises to 2,5bb. should I have to pay it? Let's see... 100/12 = 8,33 and 2,5bb x 8 = 20, One conditional for hero playing this pocket pair is hero have to gain at least 20bb of the villain, he has 10bb so your mathematic decision is fold, being the villain have just 10bb.
.....I learn a lot with that, I hope it can help a lot of beginners here.
