II – CALCULATING HIS CHANCES OF RECEIVING YOUR CARDS

Rule of 4 and 2
% to touch your cards on the flop = Number of outs x 4 % to touch your card to the river from the turn = Number of outs x 2

- On the flop he rest 2 cards to come: turn + river). Take the number of outs and multiply by 4.

- On the turn there is one card to come: the river. Take the number of outs and multiply by 2.

This rule is very simple, reliable and very close to real results. Once at the top you will see that very soon you will not have to do this because they are the same numbers that come up most often .

When you have 14 or more outs on the flop , do not hesitate to bet because you are ahead!

Let one of the previous examples. You have on hand:

The flop:

You have 8 outs for a straight draw are:

Same resume an example seen below. Your cards:

The flop:

You have 2 outs to hit your set:
