So I think by just reading through Gordon's chapter again and committing his chart to memory, I can do these odds correctly! The chart gives you the size of bet, the number of outs, and which odds it relates to.
So for example, it is correct to call bet that is the full-size of the pot while working on a flush draw after the flop (9 outs, 33% to break even). With that, if you don't hit it, it is then only correct to call a bet that is 1/4 of the pot or less with that flush draw (9 outs, 17% to break even.
With an open-ended straight draw, it is correct to call a bet of 3/4 of the pot or less, after the flop (8 outs, 30% to break even). It is only correct to call a bet LESS than 1/4 of the pot with the OESD on the river.
I think by committing these EASY out rules to memory, I can make the right calls quicker after the flop.
Yes? No?
