How long should it take to calculate odds at the table. I always feel I am taking a great amount of time when I try to.

Thanks

Didn't Mike Caro have a book out awhile back about how to calculate pot odds and such quickly? I seem to remember seeing it in an online used bookstore or something.

Yep, I found it. "Odds: Quick and Simple" by Mike Caro. It is out of print. Good question for Mike--will you be putting this book back into print? Any suggestions on where to find it?

Hi Craig

Mike might be able to get you a copy of the book.

In responce to your question...I am the slowest poker player I know...I do try to do other things such as help collect time in an effort to show some community spirit and be fair to the other players at the table....That said, I take my time when I need to and do not let other players rush me (Nobody is ever in front of me on the golf course either :-). Many players (in both poker and golf) do have a problem with me regarding this issue....I think you should not needlessly slow down the game (many players are guilty of this), but if you really want to think about something go ahead and go through your routine. You have that right!

I would also be interested in said copy of book, if available.
