Pot odds information


In poker, pot odds are the ratio of the current size of the pot to the cost of a contemplated call.[1] Pot odds are compared to the odds of winning a hand with a future card in order to estimate the call's expected value. The purpose of this is to statistically guide a player's decision between the options of call or fold. Raising is an alternative to place this decision on the opponent.
