Question 1

What are Pot Odds in poker?

Accepted Answer

Pot odds are the ratio of the current size of the pot to the cost of a contemplated call. They tell you how often you need to win the hand to make a profitable call.

Question 2

How do I calculate Required Equity?

Accepted Answer

Required Equity = Call Amount / (Pot Size + Call Amount). If your actual equity is higher than this, the call is +EV.

Question 3

What is the Rule of 2 and 4?

Accepted Answer

It's a shortcut to estimate your equity. Multiply your outs by 4 on the flop (with two cards to come) or by 2 on the turn (with one card to come) to get a rough percentage.

Question 4

What are Implied Odds?

Accepted Answer

Implied odds take into account future betting on later streets. If you expect to win more money from your opponent if you hit your draw, you can call without the direct pot odds.

Question 5

How many outs does a flush draw have?

Accepted Answer

A standard flush draw has 9 outs. There are 13 cards of each suit, you hold 2, and 2 are on the board, leaving 9 remaining cards of that suit in the deck.
