Hi,

I have a hard time understanding how you can give bad implied odds or good implied odds to your opponent. I know how to give bad pot odds or good pot odds, but I don't know about implied odds. Its hard because you don't know how much your opponents think how much you will pay them, so you don't know on what you have to base yourself other then your opponents table image.

Here's the concept that you might want to learn about also. ( Investment odds). Investment odds =(expected size of pot)x(probability of winning) divided by(amount the player contributes to the pot). For instance of; you're playing five card draw let's say. You're dealt three Kings and two fives. It would be in your best interest to throw away the two fives, so that you could win more chips, or money as a case pay be.

There is the problem people calculate there implied odds based on there opponent whole stack. It doesn't come often that you will hit your draw and get your opponents whole stack. The problem I am faced off is that you don't know if you opponent base his implied odds by your whole stack, or like he think you will pay 1/4 of your stack, so if you don't know on what basis he is going to base himself how can you manipulate the implied odds , one way or the other.

P.S: I am a Texas Hold'em players, so I am not familiar with the other kind of games

implied odds = the ratio of the amount of money that is expected to be in the pot by the end of the round or, the end of the hand compared to the amount of the money required to call and maintain eligibility to win the pot. In order of importance the first thing is, (expected pot amount), second thing is (the calling amount). Simply put; Implied Odds are the accounting of possible additional wagers.Whereas pot odds do not.
