Implied Poker Odds
There is a concept called implied odds for money you are sure will go into the pot after you act. This means that after you compute the odds before you act, you can add your opponent's future bet if you are sure there will be no raises. A simple example of implied odds would be if you held a small pair before the flop. If there are five players who have entered the pot before it is your turn to act, you are getting 5-to-l odds.
The odds for making a set are 7.5:1, which means you are not getting proper odds for this hand at this time. If you are sure that the players acting after you will call, or that there will be a bet made after the flop, you can consider these bets in the pot odds. These are implied odds.
This means you would try to calculate what you would win if your opponent bets and you make your hand and win the pot. If you were heads-up on a flush draw with one card to come, you would have nine outs and the odds against you are 4:1, which means that there should be $24 in the pot to give you proper odds. If there were only $21 in the pot you would only be getting 3.5:1. If, however, you know that your opponent will call a $6 bet if you make your flush, you can then add this to the $21 already in the pot thereby giving you an implied pot of $27. You then would be getting 4.5:1 odds for your $6 bet.
When you make your decision using implied odds you must be certain that you will win the pot with the best hand. You don't want to be drawing to a hand that is already beaten. This is known as drawing dead and will be explained in detail later.
