Default Re: Pot Odds in Split Pot Games

"Just wondering if anyone can give me a brief primer in calculating pot odds in split pot games. Any rules of thumb would be helpful."

You should first determine how much of the pot you're contesting, all or half of it? If you're going after the whole pot, you do your pot calculations the usual way. If you determined that you can only go after half of it, you should be halving the size of the pot in your calculations, in general, e.g. when you're putting $5 into a $50 pot, you're getting 5-1, not 10-1.
