How do you do your sums?

When calculating pots odds, which method do you use?

work out the % first then change to odds. Its easier when you're working out the pot.

They're the same thing, just

odds = (percent unsuccessful)/(percent successful) to 1

I thought this would be using combinations or probabilities - I prefer probabilities

As above, prefere probabilities too....

I use my 8th sense ability to do it.

I find odds way easier to work out quickly. e.g. I'm 2.5 to 1 to make my hand on the next card and the bet I have to call is offering me 3-1. Anyone who plays here I would say knows the odds of all the common situations anyway without having to work it out every time. You confront them ad nauseam
