Default Re: QUESTION: Implied Odds

[ QUOTE ]

Once I call the 3SB's, the total pot size on the Turn will be 24SBs = 12BBs. Here is my dilemma. Do you include the 3SBs you put in on the Flop when counting your implied odds on the River?

By the time you get to the turn, the 3 sbs you put in on the flop are in the pot - along with the money you put in preflop -- if you bet and get raised, the money you initially put in on the turn is included too!! the original donator is not significant, as soon as it's bet it belongs to the pot, they are included in your pot odds.

Since I am only a 5-1 dog to hit my 4 outer on the Turn

if you have 4 outs on the turn, there are 42 non-outs, so you are are a 42-4, or 10.5-1 dog.


it will often be the case that you will have odds to draw on the flop, and not on the turn. This is very common and you will just fold the turn in these situations. This will be very common with hands like overcards and gutshot straight draws . You just need to count your odds, compare to your pot odds, and make a decision, street by street.
