Been playing poker since start of year and one thing i haven`t learnt yet is pot odds. Now that i am what do you folks think of the rule of 4 and 2? Hopefully by learning this method should make me a stronger player.
Yeah it's a very good rule to remember. It's usually not 100% accurate but it's as close as most people will ever need.
One thing to remember that someone pointed out to me after ages of it not occuring to me...
If you have 9 outs on the flop (say you have a flush draw), you would multiply it by 4 and say that the chance of you hitting is about 36% but that is only true if you get to the river, so you're gonna have to often call a bet on the turn aswell if you want a chance to realise that 36% chance.
So in you wanna know if you have the correct odds to call that one bet, just to see the next 1 card, just multiply your outs by 2 whether it's the flop or turn.
