Introduction to Pot Odds and Equity
Pot Odds
Pot odds, simply put, are the relationships between the total pot 0️⃣ size and the bet that you must call to see the next card. Pot odds explain the amount of money 0️⃣ you will win for every dollar you put into it yourself.
To calculate pot odds, simply divide the amount of money 0️⃣ you must call by the total pot size if you were to call. For example, if the pot size isR$100 0️⃣ 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 0️⃣ about 33%.
