Default Re: Pot Odds/Effective Odds/Probability Question

Dave has just started a new thread, and it asks the same question I have already answered. I will answer it one final time. Dave, you are confused about how many bets you need to call for 2 cards to come odds and so forth. I already posted the method for figuring this. Pay careful attention this time. Here it is again:

Take the odds the pot is laying you on the flop and add the probable turn bet (from the flop bettor) to them. Compare this against what you have to call now (on the flop), plus what you will have to call on 4th street.

Current pot + future turn bet of original flop bettor = your 2 cards to come pot size.

Your current call + turn call = what you must compare against the pot when using 2 cards to come odds.

But again, this is the same way David Sklansky explains it. So, I don't understand why you cant get your brain around this issue as it's simply a matter of addition. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
