I am fairly good at math and if the odds vs. money is very close I just go by feel. If I try to add implied odds to it, it isn't 100% that it actually adds up.

1) I hit that card that makes my hand, but the player just folds when we think he would atleast call
2) We bet the river with 2 streets left, how can you accurately add up how much the other player will bet on each street?

Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, but counting on implied odds is somewhat hard to do. I still do it, but what if half the time the implied odds don't add up in your favor?

Implied odds can be quite player-dependent. This means, among other things, that in similar situations, you have better implied odds against some players than others; e.g. those who can't get away from big pocket pairs and those who like to call down wider are two types of decent targets.
