Hopefully zook will add some more questions to this list.

1. Harrington discusses how bet size impacts the pot odds given to an opponent with a drawing hand.
Quote:
My Bet Amt ..... Opponent's Odds
(2/1)xPot ..... 3:2
(1/1)xPot ..... 2:1
(3/4)xPot ..... 7:3
(2/3)xPot ..... 5:2
(1/2)xPot ..... 3:1
(1/3)xPot ..... 4:1
(1/4)xPot ..... 5:1
[HOH pg 346]
Everyone knows that betting the pot gives your opponent 2:1 odds but some of the other amounts are less obvious. Which of these bet amount to pot odds relationships do you have memorized?

2. Harrington says that he likes to bet between 2/3 and 3/4 the pot on the turn if he puts his opponent on a 9-out flush draw. How do you feel about that range?

3. Harrington says that he only needs to bet about 1/2 the pot on the turn against an 8-out straight draw. How do you feel about that amount?
