1. I don't have these memorized individually but I did memorize a simple formula that tells me the pot odds on the fly. I think of the bet amount as a fraction of the pot and then do the formula in my head:
Code:
x/y=odds of x+y:x
Here are some examples:
1/1=odds of 1+1:1=2:1
3/4=odds of 3+4:3=7:3
2/3=odds of 2+3:2=5:2
1/4=odds of 1+4:1=5:1

Please do not confuse this with percentage to odds conversions, that is not what this formula is about. For example, if I have a 25% chance of something or 1/4 then my odds are 3:1.
