No-Limit Holdem $ 1/2 blinds.
I limp in on the button with 7 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif after 4 other people.
POT = $10
The flop opens: A /images/graemlins/heart.gif 5 /images/graemlins/club.gif 6 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
Small blind bets $8 and 2 people call.
POT = $34.
Well... I have a straight draw. I have to call $8. Pot odds are 23,5% (8/34 = 0,235).
I call because I have 8 outs, 32% to make it on the turn or river.
Right?
I don't think so. Because, if my straight don't come on the turn, I will have to pay one more bet round to see the river card.
The numbers I had to think about on the flop were: The odds of my card come on the turn are 18%, so I should not call with 23,5% pot odd.
The 32% should be used only if I went all-in to call. Then I didn't have to think about the other bet rounds.
I am not considering implied odds here.
That is the right way to think?
