Hey
I've been trying to get to grips with calculating pot odds on the fly, despite being TERRIBLE at maths; just wondering if somebody could confirm I'm doing them correctly - or put me straight....
--
Chasing a nut flush draw on the turn with one card to come.
- 9 Outs
- 4 to 1 chance of hitting it (18 goes into 100 5.5 times, subtract 1) using 2/4 rule
- Pot size is $20
- Opponent bets £9 giving offering just over 3 to 1 meaning I have to fold.
- The maximum sized bet I can call is around $5 (giving me 4 to 1)
I suspect the maximum sized but I can call is wrong and that I'm not working it out correctly, also a little confused about if the bet size of the opponent is included in the pot; ie - if he bets $9 into a $20 pot, is the pot to be worked out on $20 or $29?
Hope you can help
