Default Re: Pot Odds vs break even odds?

ESPN article I can't access

[ QUOTE ]
One of the most mystifying aspects of poker to most amateurs is the concept of pot odds. People are always coming up to me and saying, "Phil, I just don't understand pot odds."

Here's a little secret: The concept of pot odds is useless.

What you need to know is a closely related concept, something I call the "break-even percentage," which is the percentage of the time you need to win to justify calling a bet.

My quick search revealed that Gordon has said [censored] like this, but I don't know what exactly he says.

I assume he just presents another way of calculating a pot-odds-equivalent number that he finds easier
