I wish I could do those odds calculations on the fly

If you want to keep it simple then count cards as 2% ( its approximate )

so you have Ah Qh flop comes 2h 6h Ts so another heart almost certainly wins it and someone goes all in of front of you, there are 9 in the deck and the turn and river to come so 2% x 9 cards by 2 cards to come = 36% so if your bet to call is less than 36% of the pot you call

done accurately ( he has a 76% chance of holding a heart ) 8.24 cards with 45 in deck followed by 8.24 in 44 , so 16.48/44.5 = 37%

nice, had 2 hands ( 1 live and 1 onlne ) recently where I have lost with str8 flushes, both times I had the thick end of the str8 and lost to a bigger one

/edit oops just noticed it wasn't your hand

Amazing given the odds!

Royal Flush 1 in 649,740
Straight Flush 1 in 72,193.33
4 of a Kind 1 in 4,165

I had a poor run of form last night but I'm back up to 110 again

those odds are the ones of getting it in 5 cards ( originally from 5 card draw but applicable to after the flop in HE)
