Default Re: Tell me if I understand Pot Odds correctly

[ QUOTE ]
Assuming 4 outs on the turn:

You've seen 6 cards so far (your two, and the four community cards), so with 4 outs, you know the other 42 cards are bad. So the odds of you making your hand are 42:4 or 10.5:1. Good.

So, assuming you are facing one bet to go, yes, you'd need the pot (including the bet you're facing) to contain 10.5 times the amount you're facing, or $5.25.

One major consideration though is if you're not last to act, you need to weigh in the chance that you think anyone left to act will raise.

If they do raise, does that change my actions? If so, please explain. I am having a hard time getting my mind around some of this stuff. Thanks!
