Hi, I'm new to poker and this forum. Posted this earlier but the formatting got botched somehow. Only been playing for about a month and strictly limiting myself to .02/.04 NL Hold em online cash games. Currently I'm trying to get my outs to pot odds calculations memorized. Usually I read about pot odds expressed as a ratio (The break even pot odds for 2 outs is 22 - 1, for example). But I find ratios difficult to process mentally. For whatever reason, percentages make more sense to me, so I'm trying to work out the outs to pot odds calculations in terms of percentage. My question phrased as an example is: Say we've just seen the flop and we've got 6 outs to make our hand. According to this chart (http://www.thepokerbank.com/tools/odds-charts/percentage/) there's a 12.8% chance 1 of our 6 cards will appear on the turn. So does this mean, in order to make a statistically profitable call or bet here, the value of the money we are putting in the pot must be lower than 12.8% of the pot size (including our bet)? Any help appreciated. Thanks in Advance!
