Good thread, and for the most part, excellent posts. I have one thing that I NEED to comment on though, and that is this:
These numbers are regarding ONLY an all in on the flop situation. As that's not the most common situation when considering pot odds (the most common being "What are my odds of hitting on this NEXT card, whether it be on the turn or on the river?") I think those are much more important to memorize/learn.
I could type them all up for you (and maybe Zy will), but I want to give you a good rule of thumb that I don't think has been mentioned in this thread yet: With one card to come, the chances of making your hand are APPROXIMATELY your number of outs * 2, expressed as a percent. In other words (again, these are to give you a quick ballpark, not exact odds):
5 outs: 10% = 9:1
9 outs: 18% = > 4:1
and so on.
