By knowing the math, you can make better decisions on when to call, and when to lay the hand down.  NEVER play hold'em without using the mathematic principles that allow you to make the right decisions of when to call and when to muck. There are plenty of great sites out there with probability tables, but think of the 4/2 rule.  On the turn multipy your outs by 4, and on the river by 2.  This is the percentage you have to hit your cards.  Example, your on an open ended straight draw.  On the turn you have have a 32% chance of getting your card (8 x's 4) and a 16% chance on the river (8 x's 2).  Its not exact but close enough.
