*Often a player will bet to manipulate the pot odds offered to other players. A common example of manipulating pot odds is to make a bet to protect a made hand that discourages opponents from chasing a drawing hand. No-limit Texas hold ’em example. With one card to come, Bob has a made hand, but the board shows a potential flush draw.
*Pot odds represent the ratio between the size of the total pot and the size of the bet facing you. Keep in mind that the size of the total pot includes the bet (s) made in the current round. For example, if there is $2 in the pot and your opponent bets $1, your pot odds are 3 to 1.
Playing poker is about playing the odds. The following list gives the odds for outcomes in Texas Hold’em hands. When you realize how heavily the odds are stacked against you, you may want to rethink going all-in before the flop with two suited cards. Use the odds to your advantage:
*
1 percent (1-in-100): Percentage of time that no player holds an Ace or a King at a table in a 10-handed game
*
1 percent (1-in-100): Percentage of time that if you hold two suited cards, you’ll flop a flush
*
6 percent (about 1-in-20): Percentage of time that five community cards will give pocket suited cards a flush
*
6 percent (about 1-in-20): Percentage of time that you’ll be dealt a pocket pair
*
8 percent (about 1-in-12): Percentage of time that you’ll hit at least trips after having a pair on the flop
*
12 percent (about 1-in-8): Percentage of time that you’ll flop trips if holding a pocket pair
*
12 percent (about 1-in-8): Percentage of time that two more cards will flop in the same suit as a suited pocket pair
*
19 percent (about 1-in-5): Percentage of time that the five community cards will at least trip your pocket pair
*
32 percent (about 1-in-3): Percentage of time that you’ll pair one of your cards on the flop (with no pocket pair)
*
33 percent (about 1-in-3): Percentage of time that you’ll make a full house or better after having trips on the flop
*
35 percent (about 1-in-3): Percentage of time that you’ll make a flush on the turn or river if you have four cards to a flush after the flop
Pot odds, equity and expected value are important interrelated concepts in poker. As a beginner it is important that you understand the basics if you want to get ahead of your opponents.
The simplest place to start with pot odds is where there are no other complicating factors present in the situation. On the river, if we choose to call a bet in a heads-up pot, there are no future streets and no further actions by either player. This means that our decision is pure. Texas Holdem standard percentages pot odds The decision to call a raise will most always be based upon pot odds. For instance, if the pot contains $30 and you need to make a call of $10 to stay in the hand, the pot odds are $30 to $10 or 3:1. Therefore, I will explain a simple rule, which will help you a lot with Texas Holdem odds. There is quite an easy way to get the answer very fast and we can call it “the rule of 2 and 4”. If you are on the flop just multiply your outs by 4 and you will get an approximate percentage how likely you are to improve your hand till the river.
The math side of poker is often ignored by a lot of new players but by simply spending a bit of time learning these simple concepts you will be able to improve your game drastically.
So we will first go through each of them individually and then a full example to tie it all together in the next few articles.
Table Of ContentsPot Odds: The Definition
The odds which are being offered to you when your opponent bets are called pots odds. Essentially it is how much you will win vs how much you have to risk – your risk to reward ratio.
This is particularly useful when in a situation where you’re facing a bet with a drawing hand (such as a flush draw). Pot odds will tell you whether is it correct for you to call or fold based on what size our opponent bet and how many cards that will improve our hand.
We can also use pot odds to determine whether or not we can call a river bet based on how often we expect our opponent to be bluffing.Pot Odds: Using Ratios
To take an example of when we are facing a bet on the river when we have A9 of diamonds:
On the river our opponent bets $26 into a $41.5. If we called would be risking $26 and our reward is $41.5 already in the pot plus our opponents bet of $26.
This means that we are getting odds of 67.5: 26 (67.5 = 41.5+26). This is approximately 2.6:1.Pot Odds: The Percentage Method
We can also convert that into a percentage (percentages are typically more intuitive) the result is 28%.
So if we expect to win 28% of the time or more we can call profitably.
How did we get that number?
Take the amount we have to call ($26) and divide it by the amount we have to call plus how much is in the pot:
Pot odds percentage = 26/(26+67.5) = 27.8%
Here is a summary of the numbers of outs and the pot odds associated for number of outs:Why Are Pot Odds Useful?
It first lets us determine our risk to reward ratio. We can then use this along with the strength of our and our opponents potential hands in order to make better decisions.
If we have a very weak hand we should not be willing to call very large bets, only smaller bet sizes; in other words we must have very good pot odds in order to call.
This makes sense – if someone was to bet $1 into a $100 pot on the river we will continue with almost all of our range.
The greater the pot odds (the smaller our opponent bets) the more likely we should be to continue with our hand. Conversely, the smaller the pot odds (the larger our opponent bets) the less likely we should be to continue with our hands. The larger our opponent bets the more the requirement for an extremely strong hand.Implied Pot Odds
Implied odds is simply the additional chips we expect to win when we hit our hand.
For example if we were to hit a flush on the turn or river, the hand won’t just end – we still have an opportunity to win more money from our opponent.
This will reduce the pot odds we need to call profitably. The exception to this is when our opponent has pushed all in – we call we cannot win any more chips.
The reason we call preflop with small unpaired hands is not because we expect to have the best hand all that often; but because we expect to win a large pot when we hit a big hand such as three of a kind.
The reason we call is because with a hand like three of a kind, we have large implied odds and if we hit our hand we expect to win a big pot.
Here is an explainer video of implied odds from GreenBeanVideos:A Real World Example of Implied odds:
The reason you go to College or University and get a degree is not because of the return you would expect immediately after graduation. It is because of the additional value a degree would bring you in the years after gradation through income, job opportunities etc. The same applied to poker.
Unfortunately implied odds cannot be directly calculated like pot odds – we have to guesstimate the amount our opponent will be willing to pay us off after we make our hand.
If we think our opponent has a very strong hand, and we stand to make a better one, we will have large implied odds.
If our opponent has a weak hand, we will have little implied odds.
Additionally, if we believe our opponent is a very bad player we will usually have large implied odds as he will be more likely to make mistakes and pay us with hands that he shouldn’t have.
Finally, if he is a good player we will have significantly less implied odds.
