Very usefull!
WOAH great video. but each card is worth roughly more than 2% post flop so actually what ever you calculate is a bit less than your pot odds
if your playing limit this is well done. if your a no limit player, i hate to help the fish, but pot odds dont mean anything in no limit. no limit you think implied odds. or what your opponent is laying you to win his money. therefore, if i have $1000, and the pot is 150, i bet out 150, i am laying you approximately 6.5:1 on my money. think about it.
I’m not so sure about any shortcuts but what’s mentioned here, like 4 and 2 rule in this video, are pretty quick to do. When playing live it’s easy if no-one raises, just count number of bettors and multiply by the big blind value to find pot total. Like everything else practice makes perfect. GL
Does anyone know a shortcut to calculating the pot odds? When playing online, it’s easier because the running total of the pot is provided. In a live game, the pot can grow quickly and it’s hard to keep track of the amount “in the pot” to be able to quickly calculate odds. Plus, with all these even numbered examples, it’s much easier. This video is EXCELLENT…just curious if anyone knows a shortcut or if we can round up by quickly assessing what the pot looks to be worth. Many thanks!
You also need to count your own money this time
1/1+4 that means 1/5*100=20%
Did you know what a Bonus Code is? i did nt hav a clue but eventual I do and it is incredible how easy it was to double my money at FullTilt without too much. I ve just used the promo code FILM and thats all I needed to do to to get the $600. I hav never played Poker before but it was so fun to learn. Its just so much fun to make money and have fun at the same time.
For me i find it quicker to just think of pot odds as fractions eg. if there is $300 in pot, opponent bets $100 to call i have to put in $100 making a total of $500; therefore i have to put in 1/5 of the $500 which is equivalent to 20%.
….I spent like 2 days trying to understand this in The Theory of Poker, and it took about 5 minutes here.
info: if ur wondering if these calculations are the same for heads-up, 6 handed game or a ring game, let me safe you some time: They are! Why? because the number of players involved isnt an issue. It s all about the cards you know, which are your hole cards and the cards on the flop and/or the turn. It could be that you have less outs than you calculate since other player might hold one or more of your outs. However you cant know that for certain so it isnt important in the calculations.
Thats exactly what i dont understand. I can understand that if you CALL the $100 bet, the pot would be $500, and therefore 5:1 or 20%. But why use the extra first step(4:1)??
why does 4 to 1 turns into 1/5, 20%?
isn’t 4 to 1 means out of 4 hands the odds of winning is 1 time?
hahaha…
TY FOR REAL ITS NICE you can understand easily
on the turn u can multiply by 2 and add 1 also
Yeah, he probably got this from simon singh’s website. Its so great because so many people don’t understand it. Ive got this quote as a signiture on a forum.
There is no 4 on the board after the first step.
4567 there are 4 cards. You need 5
Aladiniz, if an eight comes up, he doesent have straight
WOW you explain the best NOW i get everything
reminds me of a joke a friend of mine used to tell
there are 10 kinds of people, those that know binary and those that don’t
Multiplying by 4 only works if it is an all-in call. Otherwise if the fist card is not good for you then the guy will bet again and odds will not be in your favour. That’s why multiplying by 4 is usually wrong because putting money does not mean that you will have 2 free cards but only one.

Once I learned this stuff my game improved. It’s a must know if want to start taking down some pots. The only problem is that I’m not a math wiz and trying to keep track of whats happening at the table and counting this stuff on the fly. I’m siure it will get easier the more I play. Been playing for about a year and a half. Good luck everybody!
