What the heck does 2:1 or 3.5:1 even mean!? These are examples of pot odds, which are the lifeblood of making good poker decisions when facing bets and raises. In this video, you’ll learn what pot odds are, why they are important, see some examples putting pot odds to use, and get some simple numbers to memorize that will help you in the future.
When you see a pot odds ratio, such as 3:1, you see your risk (what you need to call) on the right and your reward (the pot + your opponent’s bet) on the left. From this ratio, you get your equity requirement by the simple formula:
= Risk / (Risk+Reward)
So 3:1 pot odds have a 25% equity requirement by taking 1/(1+3). If your actual chance of winning the hand is higher than the equity requirement, you continue. Otherwise, you should look to things like implied odds.

Don’t let these numbers scare you. Poker math is graspable with a little time and effort. And since poker is a game of math at the end of the day – your effort has serious upside potential!

You’re a great teacher man I’ve been trying to get this down easily and you made it so simple to understand fully and how to do the match quick and bad
I'm still confused, i get it for the pot raise but less than pot no. Let's say pot is 100, i bet 20, villan raise 80 (should be half pot right? 20×3+100 = 160 so 3:1), i've got to call 60 in 200, and it's more than 3:1. Help understand please, my head is exploding on this.
Can anyone help me on this one?: Blinds 75/150 (225 pot) – Hero open raises to 525 – so (525*3=1575 + 225=1800) meaning that a 3bet for pot size would be 1800 right? Then Villain 3bets to 925 – so then (925/1800=0.51%) – so I should be getting 25% equity right? Yet when I put it in the pot odds equity calculator (Pot size after they bet & amount to call) (1650 after they bet & 400 to call) it says equity is 20%. What am I doing wrong?
Hello. I have a question: if i have to make a decision on the flop to call or not, do i have to calculate my equity just for the turn? I mean if i have 8 outs do i have to calculate just 8*2 or 8*2*2(the posibility of a check check on the turn)? I hope i got understood and if not please tell me to remake my question because my english is not very good. Thank u!
Wait did you update the title and thumbnail to make it 2021 not 2020?
any tricks to do the math fast at the table? or just practice? my brain hurts trying lol
.I was tought to do this at 5.0 your saposed to go 300/(600+300+300.Wich is 4:1.This is whuts confuesing me and so many others.A verry popular teacher and player says his way is correct.Do you no of this methode?.
i realy love your lessons. they are priceless.
Although i have a serious question on calculating the odds.
Where to calculate them???
Lets say i have a good hand…and when opponent bets i can see i have more hands in his range of hands he plays,where i win.
Lets say 60% of the hands he could play,i wins vs 40% where i lose.
should i apply odds with this information???
Or
If we assume he has a better hand i can calculate the propabillities for me in order i have the better hand the next round (turn or river) and lets say my hand get better with 20% propabillity.
I cant understand
where should i pay attention in order to have +EV on my bet.
In the hand i have now or in the hand i will have on turn or river?
