pages 222 and 223 discuss adjusting the rankings for antes. The example is a 10 handed game with $50 antes and $300/$600 blinds. The hand you have in the SB is K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] , your remaining stack is $9000. Page 223 top paragraph begins "If everyone folds to you, and you move in, you are laying about 6.5 to 1."

There is $1400 in blinds and antes, your push makes the pot either $10,400 or $10,050 depending on whether your $9000 stack was before posting blinds and antes or after. It cost the BB either $8700 to win $10,400 or $8350 to win $10,050. How are you laying about 6.5 to 1 odds?

You are laying 9000 to win 1400, which works out to something like 6.5 to 1. They weren't talking about the odds you are offering your opponent.

You're right, if called, you are getting odds, not laying them.
