From what I read - a fast way to do it is - you can take your outs for any given hand and multiply by 4 and that's your odds of getting the card you need - generally speaking. Easy way to do it.
8 outs x 4 = 32% you'll get your card
2 outs x 4 = 8% as in needing a 7 when you are holding two. But you don't know what was folded so the odds could be less. Buy you get the idea.

I just reread your post your wanting to know basically when it is appropriate to chase a backdoor straigh flush or what not, not much more complicated really the way I do it is if I need 2 exact cards I firgure 1 out for each card to come so the tu... | | Read Entire Entry |
