Hey guys!
Im trying to get a hold of the math but idk if I'm right or wrong. So it was this 888 poker and I was wondering if anyone can correct me if im wrong. Its a simple of example of pot odds and wether or not to call.
Ok so pot odds I got was 13 to win with 7.4 to call
So 13:7.4 which is roughly 1.8:1 so roughly 36%
And hand odds are I'm assuming they need a straight so they're open ended so 8 outs. 47:8 and I just learned I'm supposed to reduce to 39:8 so that gives us 4.8:1 so 17%
See this is where I get lost. If what I just did is correct in ratio form. The math indicates a call and then in % form it goes against a call.
So if anyone would be kind enough to take a look at this and show me where I went wrong it would be a huge help. Thanks a lot
