Hi,

first off let me just say I SUCK at math and i've tried reading Theory of Poker to understand pot odds and implied odds. I know i am dumb, but seriously i need some help here.

Can anyone of you explain to me in plain english what is pot odds, how to calcuate it, and so on.

For instance, i often hear people say "i am getting 2:1 on my money". How do u calucate that?

- thanks

Buy Ed Miller's Getting Started In Hold'Em.

Ed does an excellent job explaining pot odds, implied odds, pot equity, and all of the other basic things that you should be thinking about. Well worth the money.
