Default Re: NL Implied Odds

I think you should use money size instead of BBs when refering to NL hold em. Because if I bet 14.52 into a pot that is 27 dollars, you cant refer to my to my bet in big blinds.

Anyways, Some things to consider. If you are play 1/2 NL there is now 12 + 6 in the pot and it requires 6 more to call so you are getting 3:1 on a 4.2:1 shot. If your ace is a live card, then its a 2.9:1 shot and you can call here. If you dont think your ace is good (limper has AK), then its 4.2:1.

Things to consider
1)Will other people behind me call?
2)If I make my flush can I win any money off him?

If you believe one more person will call, then its 4:1 pot odds (12+6+6) : (6). If you believe 2 people will call behind you then its 5:1 and your call will be profitable.

Judging implied odds on the turn if you make your flush, is very difficult to do. You can probably make a small (1/4) sized bet and get called. But I generally will check/fold kj or kq (probable limper hands) when the third flush card hits on the turn and I had 3 callers on the flop.
