    Don't forget about implied odds.

    Question ODDS % - (X to 1) - (1 in x)

    Hi, I've been reading about odds and I find 3 format...

    ODDS %
    ODDS (X to 1)
    ODDS (1 in X)

    Lets take a flopped FLUSH DRAW where you have 9 outs on the flop then the odds on the turn are:
    19.1%
    4.2 to 1
    1 in 5.2

    No, what I'm looking for is the meaning of each type of odds.

    I think that the 19.1% means that if I were to call the turn 100 times to hit the flush I would hit it 19.1 times out of 100 times I do that. (If it's not that, please let me know)

    I think that 4.2 to 1 means that for every 1 card that help me hit the flush, 4.2 card will not make me hit the flush. (If it's not that, please let me know)

    I think that 1 in 5.2 means that in every 5.2 cards, I have 1 card that will help me hit my flush. (If it's not that, please let me know)

    I'm getting a headache with the odds. I really wish there were only % since they are the easiest to calculate and compare to pot odds. I'm I correct to concentrate more on % and not so much on (X to 1 ) and (1 in X) or should I concentrate on all 3 types.

    Thanks so much, can't wait to read the replies.
