Hi Marlin, it means you have approximately a 36% chance of hitting an 'out'

Expanding on this, you are then able to calculate whether you have the right odds with which to make your play.

Eg. There's $25 in the pot, and it will cost you $5 to call - you are getting odds of 5/1 about your call when you are approx 7/4 to hit an out

Or there could be $40 in the pot, but it will cost you $25 to call - you are only getting odds of 8/5 about your call, but you're longer odds to hit an out.
