Calculating Odds

[ajrees]

Harrington explained odds like this:

No. of cards left: 46
No. of outs: 15

Pot Odds = (46-15) / 15
= 31 / 15
= ~2:1

You need to be getting better than 2:1 on your money to make the call +EV.

However, these are the explicit odds and don't take into account the implied odds (more money that you can extract on teh river if you actually make your hand). For this reason, it can be correct to call with slightly less than the "correct" odds.

Yeah with 15 outs just embrace the variance as far as I'm concerned, they won't always have sets so just get it in.

On an aside, if i'm getting immediate odds to draw: should I always be drawing (ie. drawing to a low flush on a paired board, drawing to a straight on a 3 to a flush turn)?

This is something I'm not to sure about.
IMO paired boards don't always mean FH (obv) but I'm not trying to get my stack in any more.
I think it depends on your opponent, if they're fishy than yeah I would but if they're solid players I might fold. It depends I suspose.
