Topic: Pot Odds and betting, what do you do? Forum: Card Chat

yeah, I understand what you're saying. I guess where I came to my conclusion is that I generally looked at each instance (giving the opponent odds to call s. not) and came to the conclusion, maybe wrong conclusion, that it would be more profitable over time to give him odds to call with the max bet that will give him those odds.

I did some more math on the situation and realized where I went wrong. Take the following situation:

You: QhQd
Him: Ac2c
Flop: Qc7h3c

say there is $5 in the pot. You bet $1 giving him 5 to 1 to call so he calls. Pot goes to $7. Your river bet doesn't really apply here because we are going to say he doesn't hit his club 65% of the time, so 65% you take down the $7 wich is $455. In my OP I didn't really take into account the other 35% where he hits his club. In those situations if you bet $2 on the river, giving him odds to call and he just calls or reraises but you recognize and fold, that equals $315, giving you a net profit of $140.

In the other situation you bet $5 on the flop into the $5 pot giving him incorrect odds to call, and take it down 100% of the time, that's $500 s the $140 in the previous situation.

This probably makes no sense but I think a light bulb came on in my head after thinking about it more .
