Playing the Percentages

[yt]

Sark I use this it does the job quickly -

With two cards to come after the flop you multiply your number of outs by four. With one card to come after the turn, you multiply your number of outs by two. This will give you a quick figure to work with. If you have a four-card flush after the flop you have nine outs. With two cards to come, you multiply the nine by four and you get 36 percent chance of making the flush. The chart shows the true odds at 35 percent. With one card to come you multiply nine by two and get 18 percent. The chart shows that the true figure is 19.6. It is not completely accurate but it is pretty close, and it is an easy calculation to do in your head.

In fact with one card to come its best to do times 2 plus 2 for a better figure but its up to you.

Hey bolt pp, do you play under that name at pokerstars?

Last Sunday, there was a player who's screen pic was the inside of a borg ship( I think).  They had a star trek type screen name also. Unfortunately they got knocked out and I couldn't ask them.

If you were referring to the blonde tournament from sunday i think the player you are thinking of FILO 5 of 7 (name on stars) which i believe is the name of blonde member Copag.........

Cheers Matt.

 Thats the player I was thinking of.   I knew it was something like that.  The star trek thing just clicked in my mind when bolt pp mentioned the Rule of 4 thing. I thought it was him.. ok thanks.
