Introduction to Pot Odds and Equity

Pot Odds

Pot odds, simply put, are the relationships between the total pot 🔔 size and the bet that you must call to see the next card. Pot odds explain the amount of money 🔔 you will win for every dollar you put into it yourself.

To calculate pot odds, simply divide the amount of money 🔔 you must call by the total pot size if you were to call. For example, if the pot size isR$100 🔔 and you must put inR$50 to call, you would do:R$50/($100 +R$50). Which would give you pot odds of 1/3, or 🔔 about 33%.
