Re: Pot Odds Calculation - Help! - Need trips or two pair
don't try to make it too complicated. if u have 5 outs just multiply that number by 4 and that's ur chance of winnin by the river (5 outs times 4 = 20%). forget about whether your opponent hits or not. the 2-4 rule is more than enough for any practical calculation in hold em.
so now that u know ur chance of winnin (1 out of every 5) it means u need 4 to 1 on ur money to make a breakeven call. EXAMPLE: hero: 8s7s villain: KcKh flop: 8c Th 2d pot: $1000 villain bets $250 and is all in the pot now is $1250 and u have to call $250. 1250/250 = 5 so u r gettin 5:1. u only need 4:1 to breakeven (from previous calculation) so makin a call here is profitable in the long run. hope this helps. |
