Re: Pot odds - right or wrong?
[ QUOTE ]
If I'm understanding right, blinds are 3/6, and one raises to 22, someone calls 22, you call 22, next pushes all in for 22 plus 89, then blinds fold, then pf raiser and first caller both fold, and now it's to you. I also assume that you're not in a blind. So, you need to call 89 more, to win a pot of 3+6+22+22+22+22+89 = 182. I dont know if your number (164) is different than mine due to someone being in a blind, or confusion over the exact amount of the push (89 more, or total?) or whatnot...
But anyway,
If you need to call 89 to win 182, and you have 40% pot equity if you call, then you'll win 182 40% of the time, and lose 89 60% of the time. That's ~73- ~53 = ~20. Based only on pot odds, it's a call.
Put more simply, 89 ~ half of 182, so you need to be better than 2:1. 40% is 1.5:1.
If the pot is 164, you still get +EV by calling.
