Hey all,

I am fairly new to poker, I have been playing for about a month now.

I have a goal of 10,000 by the begining of May next year and am currently negative 700, but it was negative 900 not long ago. So thats ok, I chalk it up to paying for live lessons.

I have read Phil Hellmuths book, I am in the middle of reading Lee Jones book, and have purchased T.J. Cloutier and Phil Gordons books. So I am doing my studying.

Here is the problem, I am ok at figuring out my outs and the odds on hitting them. What I am having a hell of a time with is figuring out pot odds and implied odds.

I get the basic concept, however; there is nowhere enough time for me to calculate my outs, pot odds and implied odds in the short time I have to make my bet. I try to play tight/aggresive, but with trying to figure all this out, I end up making rash decisions as my timer starts to run out on me.

Does anyone have advice on to easily figure this out. I am not great at math, so it takes me awhile.

Thanks,
Vegaas
