Pot odds are a way to decide whether it’s worth calling a bet in poker. It compares the size of the pot to the cost of the call, helping you figure out if you’re getting the right price to continue with your hand—especially when you’re on a draw (like chasing a flush or straight).
To calculate pot odds, you divide the amount you have to call by the total pot after you call. Then you compare that number to your chance of winning the hand (your equity) to see if calling makes sense.
Simple formula:
Pot Odds = (Call Amount) / (Pot + Call Amount)
Pot odds help take the guesswork out of tough spots. They’re a key part of smart, disciplined poker—especially in cash games and deep-stack play.
