HOH2 pot odds question
 

[ QUOTE ]
Middle stages of a major tournament. Sixty players remain and 30 will get paid. Nine players at your table, and you are second to act with a stack of $37,000 and an M of 41. From the TV monitors, you appear to be in the top-10 in chip standings. Blinds are $150/$300 and antes are $50, so the pot to start is $900. You pick up AKo and raise to $1,200, four times the big blind. Everyone folds to the player in the cutoff seat, who has $11,200 and an M of 12.5. He raises to $5,000, leaving him with $6,200 in his stack. The last three players fold around to you. What do you do?

When harrington contemplates putting the player all in, why does he count your 1200 + his 1200 + plus 900 in the pot to caluclate the odds. Wouldnt you count that 3300, and add the 3800 that he raised? to make it 7100? thanks

He is counting the 3800 raise from your opponent... and he is also counting the rest of your opponents stack as he will be pot committed.

As Niediam pointed out, Harrington takes into account all the money since you're opponent is surely going to call if you put him all-in. On page 236 he shows that the pot odds - including all the money - are actually 13,300:10,000 or 1.33:1.
