Lets say after the turn you have 20 outs that will win the hand for you on the river. That is a percentage of 42.55. Now lets say the pot is $2,000 before your call and to call it will cost $740. If your betting 740 to win 2000, then wont the percentage be (740/2000) 37%. Since 42.5 is obviously greater then 37 you should call. Is this how you correctly figure it out using percentages?

I believe so, and that's how the calculator seems to work on some of the practice tables (i.e. for the beginners amongst us) so I'm assuming that is how they work it.

It also makes sense, as you can weigh up the odds of winning against the amount you're betting and decide whether or not the pot is large enough for the bet you place.

Anyone got anything concrete on this?
