What are pot odds?
Pot odds are often compared to the probability of winning a hand with a future card in order to estimate the call's expected value.
Now say there are two people left in the pot, you and your opponent. There is $80 in the pot and your opponent bets $20. What should you do?
1] Calculating the "card odds".
If we put this into a ratio it gives us 38:9, or roughly 4:1.
2] Compare with pot odds.
Next we calculate the same ratio of odds using the size of the pot and the size of the bet.
This makes our odds $100:$20 which works out to equal 5:1 pot odds.
Card Odds: 4:1
Pot Odds: 5:1
Remember! You should only call if the pot odds are greater than the "card odds"
