Texas Holdem Tip of the Day #98 – 04/3/2010
Texas Holdem Percentages and Math: Implied Odds
In the example given for pot odds I was facing an all-in bet, which gave me the luxury of knowing that the $2,500 I was asked to call was the only money that I would have to risk.
It gets more complicated when my opponent has enough chips left to do some betting after the next card is dealt. I have to resort to "Implied Odds" to figure out what to do: Implied odds = [(Total pot + the amount that I'm likely to get my opponent to call in the future, after I make a winning hand) / (Amount I have to call right now + the amount I'm likely to call in the future)] to one.

Texas Holdem Tip of the Day #95 – 03/31/2010
Texas Holdem Percentages and Math: Pot Odds
What "three to one" actually means is that in order to break even I’ll need to win this bet one time for every three times I lose. Here’s where it gets a little tricky…three loses plus one win actually equals four outcomes. When calculating my break even percentage, or BEP, I have to add that extra outcome to the formula:
Break even percentage: 1 / (Pot Odds + 1)
For example: BEP = 1 / (3 + 1) = 1/4 = 25 percent
In this case I will need to make the winning hand 25 percent of the time to break even. As long as I have a 25 percent chance or better of winning, it is correct for me to call.

Texas Holdem Tip of the Day #94 – 03/30/2010
Texas Holdem Percentages and Math: Pot Odds
Pot odds are usually described as a ratio, or x to one:
Pot odds = (total pot / amount I’m asked to call) to 1
For example: ($7,500 / $2,500) = 3 to 1
So, I’m getting three to one on my $2,500 call. What the hell does that mean? No much, until I calculate the percentage of the time I need to make a winning hand in order to justify calling the bet.
