I am really keen on improving my game, want to make a living from playing poker as i love it, and to be honest i am not exactly the working type of person haha. I got the book 'the theory of poker' for christmas and i have read half of it and i am a bit confused about pot odds, implied odds etc. Can anyone explain what pot odds/implied odds are, and how to use them in a game situation? I know the basics, if the pot is 500, and someone has raised 100, you are getting 6/1 for a call is that right? calling 100 to possibly win 700 is 6/1? That's all i understand so far, if anyone can help explain further that would be brilliant, thanks. Especially the part about implied odds because to tell the truth, i read the chapter on that and did not have a clue what it meant hahaha.
