Default Re: pot odds and stuff

More accurately put:

Your 35% will not change whether you have pots odds or not however, consider the following (100 hands without pot odds and 100 hands with pot odds):

100 hands without pot odds: You will still win 35% of your hands but the winnings collected will be less then your losses. You will only win "small" pots.

100 hands with pot odds: You will still win 35% of your hands but your winnings will exceed your losses. You will win the "larger" pots.

As you can see, the 35% win rate does not change. The amount of money you collect does change. Therefore, don't chase the "smaller" pots (those without pot odds).

Does this help?
