Pot Odds
底池赔率
Pot odds compare the amount you must call to the total pot size, telling you the minimum equity needed to break even. If the pot is $100 and you must call $20, your pot odds are 5:1, meaning you need at least 16.7% equity to call profitably. Pot odds are the most fundamental mathematical concept in poker and should guide every drawing decision.
Example
The pot is $200 and your opponent bets $50. You need to call $50 to win $250, giving you pot odds of 5:1 (16.7%).
