Default Re: Basing Decisions on Pot odds???

Hmm... This is kind of a difficult post to respond to. Don't be surprised if you get a lot of really mean, sarcastic responses. I would even consider deleting it.

You should look into the concept of hand ranges, and try to be more thorough when you're thinking of possible hands. [Most notably AK]

Don't you think that a 'tight aggressive' limp-caller will lead for pot with a much greater range than that stated, as well? Underpairs? Air?

Pocket AA, QQ, JJ, K,10 I almost can't win, but I'll be getting "the correct pot odds" to do so, How can pot odds factor into this decision without being so misleading? any ideas???

Against AA, QQ, JJ, and KT, you don't have proper odds to call. You only have the proper odds because you assume that villain's range is significantly more broad.

I'm not sure the pot odds are misleading here. If you don't think there's at least a 33% chance of having the best hand here, you're either much too tight or villain is.

Merry Christmas.
