How To Calculate Pot Odds

Tips

You DON’T need to be a “math genius” to understand poker odds…

Not at all.

In fact, you can be TERRIBLE at math (like me) and still be able to use “odds” to your advantage at the no-limit Holdem tables.

There are TWO main things you need to learn right away:

1. The concept of OUTS
2. The concept of POT SIZE

These are easy. Let’s start with the first.

“Outs” refers to the number of cards in the deck that will complete (or “make”) your hand.

For instance… if you have Ace-King and the board reads Q-J-4, you need a ten to make your straight.

Since there are four tens in the deck, you have FOUR OUTS.

Or… let’s say you’re holding Q-J and the boardreads K-10-5. That means you have an open-ended straight draw– either the Ace or the nine will complete your straight.

Profitable Texas Hold’Em Sit and Go Poker Playing

Poker

The main reason why Texas Hold’Em Sit and Go tournaments are so popular is because they are fast paced and because they offer skilled poker players a good chance of receiving a big payout. Usually 9 to 10 players can participate in a single table Sit and Go tournament and out of them only the top 3 will get a payout. The pool is divided as follows:

- 50% to the 1st place finisher;
- 30% to the 2nd place finisher;
- 20% to the 3rd place finisher;

The game is fast paced because the blinds are raised every 10 or 15 minutes. This will leave you short stacked at times if you do not play smart.
