RE: Texas Hold'em: Pot Odds ♠ ♣ ♦ ♥
All true when you only do the math. Maybe that was your one and only intention for this article.
It depends also on whitch position you play from at the table.
Who is your oponent, how is he playing.
What are the stack sizes at that moment.
JQ acts last, that's a huge advantage.
I would put in 18 dollars more to see where I'm at and to see another card maybe.
He can have 22 to 88, or AJ, Ak, AQ and so much more that he can fold.
We can have a T or 9.
When turn is a brick we can bet again, or when we hit a K, than we can get even more money in the pot.
I hope my story makes sense.
I have even more thoughts on your example.
Thanks for the nice post!!
Well you don't put in 18 dollars more to see where you are at, you are doing it to bluff and want folds. Also you only do this action if it has the highest ev of all actions.
I play only tournaments, I mostly try to play like this.
My Pokerplay is not the best in the world. But i win tournements regularly.
Again, iff you only play mathematical poker, you are right of course.
Completely true! Many different variables have to be considered. Yeahh it all made sense, it's a good bluff to barrel with and we could have a T or 9 because of our Q/J blockers. It was intended to be a simple post. How to calculate pot odds and card odds, and how to compare them. I'd like to make one on implied odds soon.
Yeah that would be nice, I will read it :-)
