Out is any unseen card that, if drawn, will improve a player’s hand to one that is likely to win. That means if I have two Aces, and want to have three aces, there is two aces left in the deck so I have two outs.
This is not a very practical chart. An out is about 2%, if you have a pair on the flop, you have two outs to make trips on the turn and (if you miss) two outs to make trips on the river. So (approximately) you have 4 outs total to make trips. That is 8%, or about 12 to 1 against. You don’t need to be more accurate than that. A better way to think about poker is to form a view of what pot odds you need to make a particular draw. So, here, a little mental arithmetic replaces memory.
Actually, the most lucrative thing you can memorize is what hands you need (by position) in order to bet or call preflop.
This table is different from the one I remember. Rowders book had 21st out with probability 44.68, 45.65 and 69.94.
I used the random location method like Dominic O’Brien for blackjack. For example 15 is Einstein, it reminds me of a physics class. At the door, I see Charles Augustus Magnussen spinning a kusarigama(31.88)
When I go in, I see Quentin Tarantino kicking a heavy bag (32.61) and at the board Ivan the Fool (a character of Russian folklore) plays rock guitar (54.12).
I have researched something about the Loci method, but it still seems kind of inconvenient. There are hundreds (or maybe even thousands) of different numbers, equities, odds etc. that I should memorize, and using this kind of method just takes too much time.
I have tried to practise using memory palace technique successfully with memorizing a shopping list. Creating a story about it just doesn’t feel natural for me.
How about the lyric method? How can I use that with this chart? For additional knowledge, I don’t need to memorize “%” -sections (there is a simple method for that already), but odds I need to remember, at least the most important ones.
