Default Re: Confused about Implied Odds

[ QUOTE ]
One last question. Sklansky says it works best when disguised well. Gut shots and straight draws seem like the only hands disguised well. I mean flush draws seem pretty obvious to me. So other than straight draws, what kinds of hands are good disguising ones?

[/ QUOTE ]
I think backdoor flushes are somewhat disguised. As well, if you feel your opponent has hit a flush and you have two pair, you might have implied odds to go for your full house.

As well, sometimes the difference between implied odds and pot odds is small. For example, if you are laid 3:1 odds on the turn to hit your 4:1 flush, you don't need a very big bet to be called on the river to meet the implied odds. If you opponent has a solid hand, he will likely pay you off even if the flush is obvious.

On the other hand, if you have a really long shot like a gutshot on the turn, then you need to have a really disguised hand and opponent who has something really good since you'll probably need to get a lot out him to justify the odds.
