   You also need to count your own money this time
   1/1+4 that means 1/5*100=20%

   Did you know what a Bonus Code is? i did nt hav a clue but eventual I do and it is incredible how easy it was to double my money at FullTilt without too much. I ve just used the promo code FILM and thats all I needed to do to to get the $600. I hav never played Poker before but it was so fun to learn. Its just so much fun to make money and have fun at the same time.

   For me i find it quicker to just think of pot odds as fractions eg. if there is $300 in pot, opponent bets $100 to call i have to put in $100 making a total of $500; therefore i have to put in 1/5 of the $500 which is equivalent to 20%.

   ….I spent like 2 days trying to understand this in The Theory of Poker, and it took about 5 minutes here.

   info: if ur wondering if these calculations are the same for heads-up, 6 handed game or a ring game, let me safe you some time: They are! Why? because the number of players involved isnt an issue. It s all about the cards you know, which are your hole cards and the cards on the flop and/or the turn. It could be that you have less outs than you calculate since other player might hold one or more of your outs. However you cant know that for certain so it isnt important in the calculations.

   Thats exactly what i dont understand. I can understand that if you CALL the $100 bet, the pot would be $500, and therefore 5:1 or 20%. But why use the extra first step(4:1)??

7. tanhuiz November 16th, 2009 11:32 am :

   why does 4 to 1 turns into 1/5, 20%?

   isn’t 4 to 1 means out of 4 hands the odds of winning is 1 time?

10. SleepyBoyBeats November 16th, 2009 11:32 am :

    Yeah, he probably got this from simon singh’s website. Its so great because so many people don’t understand it. Ive got this quote as a signiture on a forum.

12. ganky6 November 16th, 2009 11:32 am :

    There is no 4 on the board after the first step.

13. nzpetter November 16th, 2009 11:32 am :

    4567 there are 4 cards. You need 5

    reminds me of a joke a friend of mine used to tell

    there are 10 kinds of people, those that know binary and those that don’t

17. srki22 November 16th, 2009 11:32 am :

    Multiplying by 4 only works if it is an all-in call. Otherwise if the fist card is not good for you then the guy will bet again and odds will not be in your favour. That’s why multiplying by 4 is usually wrong because putting money does not mean that you will have 2 free cards but only one.

    Once I learned this stuff my game improved. It’s a must know if want to start taking down some pots. The only problem is that I’m not a math wiz and trying to keep track of whats happening at the table and counting this stuff on the fly. I’m siure it will get easier the more I play. Been playing for about a year and a half. Good luck everybody!

    lol

21. mangualc November 16th, 2009 11:32 am :

    to make more clear what he said at the end..if your “out” % is higher than ur pot odd%..then u should call and vice versa

22. goooober November 16th, 2009 11:32 am :

    For those who don’t get the pot odds part:

    400 in the pot
    100 to call
    therefore you have 500 total in the pot
    so of the 500 in the pot, you have contributed 100. Which is 20%.
    100/500 = 20%

    This is a greatly informative video. Beats reading pages about this stuff on those poker websites.

24. tubemoood November 16th, 2009 11:32 am :
