True in most cases, but I have just sat down and I want to get a feel for the table.

As much as you hate it, he's right, although i'd lean towards folding. You can't really play a big pot with A7o unless you get some kind of miracle flop that he also likes.

I'll quote an old post that i saved when i was newer to the game.

Someone had defended completing with A2o (slightly different from A7o) by saying he had implied odds.

In order to use implied odds you need to have a hand which is capable of winning a large pot. With A2o you'll have a hard enough time even winning the small pots, let alone big ones. Even two pair with A2 is a shaky hand as you will often run into the bigger two pair or you'll end up counterfeited by the board pairing (A8278, etc). Even a wheel is the bottom end of the straight. Making deuces full leaves you vulnerable to sets which made the big full house. Making aces full is a little bit stronger, but on that AJ2KA board are you sure you're not up against AK or AJ? I mean, they must have *something* in order to play a big pot against you. Making quads is probably good, but will you get action?

So to summarize, implied odds come from having a hand capable of making the nuts or somthing close to the nuts. A2o needs to make quads in order to have the nuts. So it sucks.
