Please help, I really cant grasp this subject. I have just read this post https://www.cardschat.com/forum/cash-games-11/effective-odds-implied-odds-158765/ and think that I have just confused myself even more!
I am playing limit holdem and I am trying to improve my math play. When im on the turn I can play using pot odds v out odds.
When Im on the flop I figure its best to use effective odds -but how, from the thread above it just looks like your comparing your out odds to your pot odds to see if you should justify calling. What if Im on the flop?
Do I take the combinded odds for making my card and turn on the rivers and call is the pot lays me better odds?
Im sorry for not having any examples but Im really not sure how to apply effective odds to my game so I have no histories.
I would just like to check if Im using the correct odds at the correct time.
when all the cards are out - I compare my pot odds to the chance I have the best hand.
On the turn. If im drawing or redrawing I use immediate pot odds V my outs odds to see if I should call to see the river.
On the flop -for a drawing hand I would like to use my effective odds, but at the moment Im using immediate pot odds. Also If i have a strong hand and am unsure weather to call or fold (according to odds or stratergy) I use EV (win odds V pot size and bet size).
If im drawing to the nuts this is the only time I use implied odds.
Am I correct in my methods.
Please, please help This is a fundamental part of my game I cant seem to grasp!
PS. If anyone get me to understand these concept, I will buy you some ice cold beers.
Have fun at the tables.
