MoP video 2+3 study session

Videos 2 and 3 explain alot of similiar concepts so I will put both videos into 1 review slot. The table of contents in video 2 is Pot Odds, Implied odds, fold equity, hand combinations and G-bucks. He goes into fold equity more in video 5. Video 3 revisits Pots odds, implied odds and tools to help us determine Pot equity and mental shortcuts. So I will go through Implied odd. I have Pot odds known already so I will skip that.



Implied Odds:

Here's what WOT wrote for his first slide


Is the relationship between the amount of money you have to call and the total amount of money you
expect to win from the making the call.

8 outs to hit our straight, we need 2.2:1 on a call but we are getting 2:1.

Stacks: $950
flop: 9:spade: 7:club: 2:diamond:
hand 6,8:hearts:

what are our implied odds?

$100 in to $200 pot, plus $950 behind.

950 + 200 = 1150:100 or about 11.5:1 which is roughly 5:1


I'll use a hand I played recently to try and grasp it a bit better.


Carlos Poker 0.10/0.20, hand converted by the iPoker Converter at Talking-Poker

saw flop | saw showdown

Button ($21.87)
SB Hero ($20.20)
BB ($1.40)
UTG ($1.20)
UTG+1 ($8.05)
MP ($20.30)
MP ($3.30)
MP ($21.96)
CO-1 CO-1 ($18.13)
CO CO ($19.63)

Preflop: Hero is in the SB with A Q
5 folds, CO-1 raises to 0.60, CO calls 0.60, 1 fold, Hero calls 0.50, 1 fold.

Flop (2.00) 8 5 T
Hero bets 1.40, 1 fold, CO raises to 2.80, Hero calls 1.40.

Turn (7.60) 2
Hero checks, CO bets 3.80, Hero ??

So I have to call $3.80 into a $11.60 pot, which is 3/1. Obviously if you count my overs as outs I am getting correct odds to call but for this I will just use my FD.

Too call hoping to hit a flush I need to get 4.1/1. Here I am getting 3/1 so I need to see if my Implied odds are good enough to call.

$7.60 + $12.43 = 20.03:3.60 = 5.56/1 which is better then the 4.1/1.

However alot will depend on the kind of villan you are up against as to just how much implied odds you have. If he is very tight he could fold even if you hit your flush, and especially when you are OOP it makes hands very difficult to play.


The next video is calculating EV which I havent watched yet but it's the one I am most looking forward to learning.
