When calculating implied odds do you consider your call amount your current call amount or a summation of your current call amount + the call amount you are implying you will make during the next round.

Example: the pot is $100, it is your turn and we are in the TURN round (call amount is $10). You imply that there will be 3 more bets on the river so your implied pot amount is $140 (your current bet + 3 more).

Do you calc. you implied odds as 10/140 or 20/140? Do you assume your implied bet on the river into your call amount for implied calculations on the turn.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need more clarification let me know.

Implied Odds = [Current pot + future bets you will collect (not including bets that you will put in)] : Current bet you have to call.

If the pot is $100 on the turn (after your opponent bets) and it costs $10 for you to call and you judge that he will call your raise on the river if you make your hand then your implied odds are $120:$10 = 12:1.

Implied odds is a guess of estimated cost to see the hand out versus your potential gain. This would have to include estimations of another call on the turn and the expected eventual pot size.

What you are talking about is referred to as effective odds.

Effective Odds = (Current Pot + Future Amount Your Opponents Will Put In) : (Current Amount to Call + Future Amount You Will Put In).

Implied Odds = (Current Pot + Future Amount Your Opponents Will Put In) : (Current Amount to Call)

You use implied odds when you will be folding if you don't make your hand on the next card.
