Re: Pot Odds Preflop and other such funny questions...
This is so general, I won't say much because it wouldn't mean anything.
But, when deciding to call with a marginal when faced with good odds you have to ask your self a couple questions:
A) How does this hand play post flop? Ie, are there reversed implied odds, do you stand to lose a lot if you call with K9o and the flop comes out Kxx or 9xx.
B) how does calling here effect my future fold equity. Ie, if calling commits a significant amount of your stack and will hurt your chances of stealing blinds later, calling is probably a bad idea.
Also, you should read up on ICM (in the FAQ). Your tournament equity is more important than pot odds at certain stages of a sng.
Finally, the flush question...do you have one of the suit or two? If you have a flush on a three flush board, shove every time!
