Not if you are going to "push" on the flop

if we are all being 'perdantic', it's 'pedantic'

You tell them Claw! lol

Forget all this 2x 3x 4x bs.

Get a piece of paper, work them all out and have it sat next to you when you play untill you learn all the %'s for each situation.

ALL?!?!?

Thats going to be one big piece of paper to have every odds calculation for every given situation preflop, post flop and post turn..................

I hear that is what James has used as his wallpaper!

I just wanted to make the point as lots of people make a mistake by calling because they have pot odds when really they don't.

Good point m8

It won't take that long. It's a small price to pay if it helps you understand.

This is particularly useful for your opponents when playing live, especially if you use your finger and a ruler to find the %'s you are looking for.

Thanks for the advise guys..I seemed to stirred a bit of a hornets nest LOL.

Boldie I agree I definately need to practise more HU games as it really is my downfall so yes I will do that.

Playing omaha is also something that I want to try and I did think about trying it on play money but I originally learned to play hold 'em on play money and found that when I moved on to real money it was a TOTALLY different game so perhaps I will try it playing low stakes. Should I play on a site that doesn't give you your best hand as Blonde does?

Limit to be honest Sherriff I find totally boring though I have found I do reasonable well in limit mtts on the odd occasion (usually by accident) that I have played them but okay I will give that a go too.

Looks like I will be giving the $5 extended a miss for a while  

Playing live isnt really an option at the moment though I would like to play more but funnily enough I find that after playing live my online game seems to go to pot  

Thanks for the web link M3boy, I understand what you mean about x4 on the turn x2 on the river etc what I dont understand is when I hear someone say "I have to call because I have pot odds" THAT is what I want to learn, its something to do with how much you put in the pot??

Thanks Billy that was the book I was thinking of and couldn't remember what it was called.

James are you suggesting that I work out % for each hand as im playing or sit down and work out every possible hand?

[M3boy]

Suzanne - pot odds is simple maths.

If you use the "pot odds calculator" link I sent you, you can enter the pot size, the amount you have to bet and you can see if you have "pot odds"

Hope this helps.

Also, no need to write them down - play enough and it will become second nature.

[suzanne]

Im just having a go on it now...this is cool 

[Acidmouse]

Always thought you was a really good player Sue, best of luck in improving your game.

[Claw75]

suz,  i'm pretty sure you can turn off the 'best hand' thing on blonde in your options.  Don't quote me on that though coz I've not tried it!
