In order to be able to figure out your pot odds you first need to figure out your card odds. First you take the number of outs that you are drawing to and divide into 45. Then you subtract 1. Let's say you have 12 outs.





45 / 12 - 1 = 2.75 (round up to 3 to make it easy)





Then you take your card odds, 3, and *multiply* that by your opponents wager. If your opponent bets 45 dollars you need to multiply 3 by 45.





3 x 45 = 135





The TOTAL pot must have more than your answer to be able to call.





* Remember that the total pot includes all raises or calls before it's your turn to act. Don't /just/ look at the chips at the very center of the table--include all bets, raises and calls.





If the pot only contains 135 dollars then you are in a break even situation (in the long run). If the pot contains, for example, 200 dollars then you are in a profitable situation (in the long run). You may, of course lose the hand, but if you always play this way then you will see a profit.





Remember that getting the ';right'; odds to call does not mean that you /should/ call. If your opponent is on a bigger straight-draw and/or flush-draw you're drawing dead and should fold the hand. However, if you put your opponent on pocket Aces and you have a straight-draw/flush-draw with 15 outs and they price you in then you can make the call or even raise depending on the situation.How I figure pot odds in texas Hold em?
I met Tom and other day. I sat next to him at Oceans Eleven and we spoke about his classes. I am taking one in August. Thanks again. Report Abuse
