Glad someone liked this post, it took a bit heh. Sorry so long to respond but the forums went down and I just now found out they were back.
Anyway Mahdrek, you're probably gone or know this now but for anyone else here's the 4 2 rule. At the turn, multiply your outs by 4 and you will be pretty close to the actual percentage chance you have on hitting those outs. On the river you multiply by 2 instead of 4. It's just a quick way to learn to figure pot odds. Remember however that your 4x turn odds only count if you play the river card as well lol. If you have to fold on the river than your turn odds were really only like the river's, x2. Also you need to be able to adjust your outs to dead outs.. ie...
at the turn you feel like one of the 3 (unseen so far) reamining Queens will give you the best hand. So 3*4 gives you about a 12% chance to hit your Queen. But if the flop was say 3 hearts and you have the club Queen (and no other heart) you usually wouldn't count the Queen of hearts as it would probably make someone else's heart flush. So your adjusted odds drop to 2*4 or 8%. And if you think the bully is gonna push you off the river if you miss the turn you could adjust them even lower to 2*2 or 4%.
That was a simplified version. The more people in the hand, the more possible outcomes and dead outs to consider. Confusing enough? If it makes you feel better I usually no longer figure odds. I am comfortable enough with the blind structure versus stack sizes (and how I am currently playing) to know whether or not to fold, call, or raise. Plus, with experience you should be the one controlling the table and the pot sizes which makes this kind of a non-issue
but it is a great tool for newer students of the game.
Narcissus, there's not an honest player alive who doesn't feel your pain but here's what someone told me once (thanks Chris
)
The better your game becomes the more frequently your losses will come to bad beats. It just makes sense. So the next time some ass puts one on you just think "damn I'm good."
And my advice is to NEVER start chatting about how you got robbed. When I see someone do that, my cross hairs fall firmly on their head. I won't be nasty but I'm seeing a flashing "tilt" sign and the first chance I get to push on them with good cards I'm gonna say something rude. Hey, I'm out to win. And if you lack the discipline to control your stack I want to get it before someone else does. Not to mention (and this really kills me) if someone KNEW that their (insert good cards here) all-in was gonna be called by a table full of bad hands then why did they do it? When people chat/complain about all the donks and all the bad play that they always see I find it hard not to ask them "First day online? Well if you know about it and you expected it then why don't you adjust your game to it?"
And let's make it official, the quickest way to label yourself as a Donk is to call someone else one. You might as well throw in some statements about shifting paradigms, the internet superhighway, and how your member's only jacket makes you look hella groovey. Gag me with a fork please.
peace
