Not flaming but you started a thread saying you where thinking of quitting your job to play poker, surely concepts like this should already be apart of your game?
I hope my english skills would be enough to answer you )
You should read some articles about this. If say shorty- In poker, pot odds are the ratio of the current size of the pot to the cost of a contemplated call. Pot odds are often compared to the probability of winning a hand with a future card in order to estimate the call's expected value.
You play 1/2$ NLH 3 guys limp (2$ each), 3 guys fold, your turn. There is 3$(blinds)+6$(limps)=9$ in the pot
you must call 2$ to get chance win 9$
its 2 : 9 = 1 : 4,5 = ~18% pot odds
If you raise to 9$ instead of calling - you got 9 : 9 = 1 : 1 = 50% pot odds
Upper we dont count potential pot odds, but if you raise and know exactly that aggressive player after you will call - you can add his call to pot in mind, and got 9:18 - 1:2 instead of 9:9, but ofc you cant know exactly what your opponent will do.
Then you should count your hand odds and compare with bank odds. But all what i said upper is only pre-base lvl of counting odds. You should read some literature to get full understanding of this questions.

Very good explanation mate your English is fine ^^
Myself I prefer to leave it at 1:4.5 instead of percentages, makes it very easy to compare with the number of outs. But that's just personal preference ofcourse.
above.Thx
I usually prefer count outs this way:
Outs - number of outs
(Outs x 2) + 1 = X% for turn
(Outs x 4) + 2 = X% for river
...This is incorrect and a common mistake made by newer players.
The rule of 2 is used for each individual street. For example:
-You need to call a bet on the flop to see the turn.
-You need to call a bet on the turn to see the river.
The basic rule is, if there is any more potential betting to be done on a later street, then you would use the rule of 2.
The rule of 4 is used for times where you are guaranteed to see both the turn and river without having to call any more bets. The basic rule is use the rule of 4 if you can see the turn and river without any future bets.
The rule of 4 is rarely used and most of the time, you'll be using the rule of 2.
Please note that in a situation where an opponent is all-in on the turn, then you would use the rule of 2 since you're only going to see the river card.
if Outs 3 or less - dont add this one, if outs 11+ add two instead one so usually i score in percentage.
Same in pot odds 30 to bank 200 is 30/230=13%
