Mastering The Fundamentals: Pot Odds

In this video, we discuss Pot Odds and why they matter. Poker math is fun!
Understanding pot odds is necessary to playing good, strong, fundamentally sound poker. Too many players base all of their decisions on whether they think they are ahead or behind, but learning how to compare pot odds & equity will open up your strategy so that you can fully realize your win rate!
Pot odds & equity are how poker professionals determine whether a play is profitable in the long run. Pot odds are calculated by dividing the amount of the call by the size of the pot AFTER you have called. So, if you're facing a $10 bet and the current pot size is $90, your pot odds would be 10:1, meaning you only need to beat 10% of the hands your opponent would bet!

What do you think of these odds?

[@fifaaldy]

18% raises, 42% calls, 39% folds, 1% burn the cards and spit on the opponent😅

You changed my life man. Been delved in study for months mostly all with your teachings. I’ve turned $2,400 into $4,300 in 56 HRS of play at 1/2. You’re the 🐐

[@henrybarker8291]

what if you’re opponents are really bad and bet 25% pot with the nuts and call every bluff with bottom pair

After watching your videos, i always hear your voice saying, "Pot odds exists" whenever I have to call a bet that feels uncomfortable. And sometimes I end up winning a big pot that way

[@eddygnz1]

I watch your vids all the time. I have a full time job and I can't afford your premium content so I abuse all the free stuff.thanks john. Good luck to you

Thanks as always Jonathan. I have a different question but do you know what happened to Kevin Phwaap? I recall he suffered a stroke then returned to the game in 2016/2017 but them disappeared again. I believe you two were acquaintances possibly even house mates. Just wanted to check on his well being.

I played 4 tournaments online a few months ago, I played once a week on the weekends. A mutual friend invited me to his home games, this is the only reason I started to play. I'm not new to poker, me and my friends would play almost every weekend when I was younger. I won the tournament twice, got to the final table and came in top 20 in the 4 i played. I only earned around 2k, it's not like I could quit my job. So I started studying GTO thinking I could make this a good side hussle for now and I've watched almost all of your videos. I feel like it's made me worse. I haven't made top 50% since I started using GTO. Is there a point in playing this way if the people I play against don't use it?

What do we know about Global Poker? Unregulated "sweepstakes" poker. The only thing available in many states. Legit?

[@lancea7956]

Is a PLO course being added?

[@kenward9449]

I'm a newer player. What does defend mean in his context?

[@mictyson6750]

First!

Preflop is straightforward, it's judging the value of marginal hands at the river I find hard. Callking off my 7 against many of my opponents is often -100% ev if they bet into the river.
