Make correct decision in the hold'em thanks to the projects
In poker "Texana" mathematics is not the most important factor, but being able to calculate the percentages of realization of a project can be a good source of information to make correct decisions.
In Texan poker there are many factors to keep in mind to be able to win a hand and among all these there is the need to be able to calculate the probability of creating a project, that is, of obtaining the point you want.
The first step to take in this sense is to understand the concept of "outs". The outs are nothing more than the cards necessary for the player to conclude their pointnull Let's take an example: we are playing a game and our cards are K ♠ and 9 ♠.
The flop presents itself in this way: 5 ♥ 2 ♠ 3 ♠.
In order to close a color project, we need that a card with seed pickets (♠) exit at the turn or river. In the deck there were therefore 9 cards (13 -4, 2 in hand and 2 on the table) useful for our purpose. In this case, we can say that we have 9 outs available.
We therefore fill out a table that indicates the probability of improving your point to turn and River based on the number of outs availablenull As can be easily understood, the greater the number of outs available and the greater the chances of Chidido the point. As we see, in the previous example we would have had 35% likely to close the color in spades between turn and river.
| Outs | % al Turn | % al River | % Turn + River |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2,1% | 2,2% | 4,3% |
| 2 | 4,2% | 4,3% | 8,4% |
| 3 | 6,4% | 6,5% | 12,5% |
| 4 | 8,5% | 8,7% | 16,5% |
| 5 | 10,7% | 10,9% | 20,3% |
| 6 | 12,8% | 13% | 24,1% |
| 7 | 14,9% | 15,2% | 27,8% |
| 8 | 17% | 17,4% | 31,5% |
| 9 | 19,1% | 19,6% | 35% |
| 10 | 21,2% | 21,7% | 38,4% |
| 11 | 23,4% | 24% | 41,7% |
| 12 | 25,6% | 26,1% | 45% |
| 13 | 27,7% | 28,3% | 48,1% |
| 14 | 29,8% | 30,4% | 51,2% |
| 15 | 31,9% | 32,6% | 54,1% |
| 16 | 34% | 34,8% | 57% |
| 17 | 36,2% | 37% | 59,8% |
| 18 | 38,3% | 39,1% | 62,4% |
| 19 | 40,4% | 41,3% | 65% |
| 20 | 42,6% | 43,5% | 67,5% |
Caution: These values indicate only the probability of closing the point, not to win the hand against the opponents and get the dish!
A good method to approximate these values approximately during a game is the following: for the percentage relating to the turn only, multiply the number of outs by 2 and if you have more than eight sums 1. For turn + river multiply the number of outs by 4, if you have more than 8 stoetraete 1.
