Hi All
I'm very new to poker but putting a lot of effort into studying and learning.
I have a question regarding pot odds and equity. I understand the procedure to calculating card equity and how to calculate pot odds and the need to have a greater card equity than pot odds to make a call.
The issue I'm having is putting this into practice? How are you supposed to do these calculations quickly in a live environment?
Most articles I read suggest using calculators to calculate your equity but you can't really do that at the table? And doing the pot odds calculations can be difficult to do quickly in my head depending on the size of the pot?
I'm assuming playing online you can have software that calculates it all for you?
Thanks!
