Yr new, and I expect this thread to drop like a brick, so will try to help with some quick advice.

In hold em, the pot has to be really large to call one bet to see the turn. Like at least 20 or so small bets. Otherwise, you will be too big of a longshot. This illustrates how most of the decisions you make are determined by pot size in proportion to bet size. Plus, you need to be pretty sure it won't be raised behind you if you call. If you are closing the betting then this makes it better.

That is if you are certain to not be ahead already, not have other outs, and are always going to be ahead when you hit.
