How to read results from Two Dimes

[ QUOTE ]
then what you really should be looking at is implied odds

[/ QUOTE ]

Implied odds describes a situation in the middle betting rounds, where one card will make your hand a winner and if you don't get that card you will fold, so you only take into account the current amount you have to put in the pot to call versus the total amount you expect to win(=current pot + all of your opponent's future bets).

On the other hand, "effective odds"(or "real pot odds", or "real odds") describes the situation where you will stay until the last card.

This can be difficult to calculate unless you know what your opponents are going to do.

You might also add: knowing what your opponent's have for a hand. Your statement is true of all the odds except pot odds(which applies when there is only one card to come).

If the EV on two dimes is the percent win if you stay into the end

Usually, there doesn't appear to be any difference between the %win and the EV, so I'm not sure what the EV is supposed to be in their simulations. I have noticed slight differences in some simulations.
