Default Re: Pot Odds in Split Pot Games

I am not sure how you are doing your math for Hold 'Em.

On the flop you have 47 unseen cards (52 in the deck minus 2 in your hand minus 3 on the board). 9 make your flush so 38 do not. 38 to 9 reduces down to 4.2 to 1.

In your Omaha/8 problem you are going to have to calculate both the turn and the river. Having the whole pot on the turn with a high hand can easily turn into half the pot when a low card comes on the river.
