Good basic odds/equity lesson for those that don't want to get deep in the numbers, thanks Lexy!

[billionaire]

Thank you for clearly unraveling this mystery! So many coaches make this important concept so confusing! ❤❤

You should point out that the rule of 4 & 2 only applies on the flop IF you are going to see BOTH the turn and river. So many players will see the flop and think "I'll see the turn and fold to a bet if I don't hit." That process negates the 4 part of the rule of 4 & 2. If you're only going to see 1 card, your equity is 2 times your outs. The rule of 4 & 2 only works because a percentage of X cards out of 52 is roughly equal to 2X out of 100 (4 outs in 52 cards is roughly equal to 8 outs in 100 or 8%). You can then multiply that by the number of cards to come (8% X 2 cards is 16% chance to hit).

I've tried reading short books about how to do this and didn't get as much out of them as I did in this 7 minute video. Thanks bunches, Lexy!

Speaking of flush drawing, This isn't adding up for me. Let's say Villain has bet and I'm getting exactly 33%. That means Villian bet pot. If I miss on the turn, then I can't continue to the river unless Villain checks the turn, because I used up almost all of my Flop-to-River equity (33 of 36%) on just getting to the turn. Now realistically, what Villain would bet pot on the flop then just decide to give me a free river (knowing there's a draw on the board?)

To me, that math only works on an all-in scenario, when you know there will be no betting after the turn.

It seems to me that I should play each street individually. I'm 18% before the turn, and if I miss, I'm still 18% before the river. Therefore, I should only call 1/4 pot bets (assuming heads up).

Am I wrong? Or is calling pot before the turn the right play? Please help, this has been racking my brain and I'm scouring the Internet to try to figure this out.

green is the best- u should always bet pot odds

Could've made it without half the vid being your life story and self promtion but ok

[scottsample]

The video that every single player needs. You only see videos now with them explaining advanced pot equity but with no outs? It’s so confusing!!

[markjohnson]

Finally someone who can explain it to me simply and not over complicate it

Thanks

3 minutes into the video and still talks about everything but the actual content….

[ernestodelpalaciosaiz]

Thank you for the explanation. However, I think it s missing the effective odds. In the flop. your equity is 36%. However, you are considering your equity considering two cards but you are not considering your pot odds with two more betting rounds.

Therefore, if you call after the flop, then in the turn you might call as well because your opponents bet. These bets after the flop will make your pot odds change, sometimes dramatically, making that 36% equity not feasible for calling.

So, after this, please, am I wrong? How to workaround my concern?

Many thanks!

What are the odds of ending up with a pair of Kings or BETTER? A pair of Aces or better? Two pair or BETTER?

[zackallen-cv]

I’ve tried to watch so many of your videos to actually learn something and always end up turning them off halfway through your life story no one wants to hear 😂 must really like talking about yourself

[kutilsima]

Video starts at 3:02. I don't understand why first 3 minutes is just irrelevant nonsense, which isn't even mentioned in the title. And hard-subs over the text? Are you kiddding me?

[helenrachel]

I have missed seeing you hope all is well 😊

[divided_and_conquered]

_So, _ she said the word "so" 37 times between 3:02 and 6:22.
Thirty seven times.

Thanks Lexy, nice and clear. Cheers. Aussie Tim 😊😊🏆🏆

Great summary of some basic math after the flop, but may I add that when you miss the turn you have to recalculate your odds before hanging yourself out to dry on the river. Also, if you are in a tournament you also have to take into consideration your stack size compared to the average stack size, the rising blinds and the approaching payouts.

[Spookycookie]

Thank you. I’ve used poker apps before to calculate hands, but this one had me confused as to why the percentage was so high after the flop. J10 offsuit vs 99. Flop comes jj9. 4 outs for the j10, right? J101010? So 16%. Poker calculator says 23%. Is this because it could potentially runner runner pairing the board on the turn and river to counterfeit the flopped boat? 22, 33, 44, etc?
