But you can now justify even a 2-1, especially if you believe your opponent is strong enough to call you down/bet into you when you hit.

If the pot is laying you 2.5 - 1 or better, it's an obvious call. If you have 13 outs with one card to come, there are 13 cards to help, 29 cards to hurt, which lays you around 2.5 - 1. If you have so many draws to a likely nut hand, you have to factor in the probabillity of (if in position) being bet into on the river or (OOP) betting out pot and getting called.Implied odds turn a marginal pot-odds situation into a clear call, especially in position. Nope.You have to figure implied odds into the equation. You do NOT want to be drawing to a flush or a straight with a paired board, under nearly any circumstances. Implied odds escalate in multiway pots, by the way, so it's nearly impossible, knowing the math, to talk yourself out of closing the action on the turn if you have at least 10 outs that you are darn sure will win for you on the river.edit: if you are talking about the flop, Royal is dead on: you'll want to see the turn before you get into a raising war.

once out of 3 I make 20 bucks and twice out of 3 I lose 10 bucks for a total of 20.1/3 = 33% chance of hittingso if I approximate 4% for each out I need 8.25 outs in order to call a pot sized bet?Is this correct?Nope.You have to figure implied odds into the equation. So i need to win it 1/3 of the time to break even. Pot sized bet makes its 20 bucks.Pot is offering me 2:1 odds.

please let me know if this makes sense or not.Original pot of 10 bucks. If I am confident that hitting my outs will win me the pot what is the exact number I need to call a pot sized bet.
