calculating correct pot odds

[VivaLaViking]

That' funny. With the BoSox logo I thought you were in MA. Good luck in FLA, think your closest B&M's would then be in NJ or the river boats.

If I've heard anywhere near correctly, there's a B&M in Tampa on Indian land. I'm pretty sure the Hard Rock has a poker room...not sure what the limits are though.

~ 36% or c. 2.75:1 (this excludes any other outs you think are good, but in this case and A might be bad since it gives a straight draw life, so I exclued any A as an "out"). So if I'm being offered anything better than 2.75-1 on my pot odds I should call (implied odds probably would lower that to 2-1 if I do hit flush correct?)

You are confusing the probability that you hit a hand with the odds that you hit a hand. If you have a 36% probability that you will hit a hand that equates to winning 1 in 2.77 times. You subtract 1 from your probability to get your odds required thererore 1 in 2.77 equals odds of 1 to 1.77. So if facing an all in you would need pot odds of 1 to 1.77 not 1 in 2.77.

Ok now that I thought I had it all figured out I'm confused - anyone disagree with Cobra??

Odds and probability are not the same. 1/3 = 2 to 1. Probability a cointoss lands on heads is 1/2. Odds are 1 to 1.

Not to be a prick, but this post has nothing to do with pot odds....

Now odds of making your hand....
