yes im 2 months late but for the new people, pot is 400$ and u are needed to call a 100$ bet in order to continue playing – what u do now is u divide 400/100= 4:1 that means out of 5 times playing that hand u will lose 4 times and win one time so u calculate 100% of the time divide with total times played and that is 5 in this time so its 100/5=20%
I appreciate this video very much. Thank you for posting it!
It seems that for some it might be less thinking to calculate the pot odds 1st and then DIVIDE by either 2 or 4 BEFORE counting outs. In the case of your last example – I’d figure out the 33% before I’d start counting outs: 33 / 4 = 8.25 then I’d know to stop counting outs once I got to 8 or 9 knowing that I’d improved my hand enough to call.
I agree with “purdue2009″. this clip was very helpful. I’m only a casual player but i think knowing wat ive just learned will give me a bit of an edge over my dumb friends!
the point is, you are able to see if your hand are strong enough for a call/raise if you would pay these hand often enough. Then you will by time more win as loss.
should have gone to maths in high school instead of smokin a joint buddy. the 2/4 rule is used as a quick method calculation , he assumes 50 cards left instead of 47. 12 outs out of 50 cards is the same as saying 24 outs out of 100 cards which is essentially saying 24/100 = 24%. so if you have a hand with say 7 outs after the turn…you have 7×2 = 14% chance of hitting. kapish
Both is correct. My calculation is per card while the rule of 4 is used to see wheather you get your card on either the Turn or the River. My example there is the exact correct % for calculating the Turn. The rule of 2 is a simplified way to see your odds. In my example it’s 12/47 = 25.5%, the rule of 2 says 12 (outs) x 2 = 24% which is close enough.
Gordon knows what’s he talking about.
good advice
tnx was rly helpfull
100 of your chips in a total 500 chip pot if you call = 20% of ur chips
*-. Use code TILTPOKERBONUS when you sign up at Full tilt poker and get up to $600 bonus
Amazing info. Wonder if it works. Gonna try implementing it into my play and time will tell. Thanks!!

no u cant coz theres 500$ in the pot if u call not 400 so its 20% as its 100/5=20
$500(pot after call)/$100(amount to call)=20%
u can divide the bet with the pot to get the exact potodds. ie 100/400 = 25%
No man.. after you call in pot will be 500
You mean that i call 100 chips and in pot will be 400 that give me 100:400=0,25
i dont understand 
(your call) / (pot after your call)
at 2:58 how did he get 20 % can you pls explain little bit?

What do you guys think is easier?

this is byfar the easiest I seen counting outs explained…and I think I can apply this method.

Because a pair of fives or sixes is a very weak hand.
tell me something y doesnt he include ,as part of the outs, the 6′s or and the 5′s?????
whats the point of knowing pot odds?
“…is used to see wheather you get your card on either the Turn or the River”
I mean “…is used to see if you get your card at all with the Turn and River left to be revealed.”
Both is correct. My calculation is per card while the rule of 4 is used to see wheather you get your card on either the Turn or the River. My example there is the exact correct % for calculating the Turn. The rule of 2 is a simplified way to see your odds.

so the video is correct or your 47-cards theorie ?
cause i really would like to know ^^
