question about pot odds

[Ivory]

what odds do i need to draw to a) an open ended straight b) a gutshot straight? also should i bet my open ended straight draw or try and limp to it?


i think a gutshot is 10-1 is that right?

nevermind used the old grey matter lol

open ended straight i need 5.8 -1
gutshot straight i need 11.75-1

i think, open ended straight is 47/8 and gutshot 47/4

Fairly well explained here.

Most people will chase OESD or a flush getting 3/1 or better. The price isn't quite right (assuming there will be river action) but the implied odds usually make it OK.

HU I will usually bet an OESD if I think opp may have a hand he'll lay down. Adding fold equity to your chance of hitting the draw usually makes it a plus EV play. With more than one opp in I'll probably check call hoping to win a big pot - plus your FE is much lower with multiple opps. Obviously reads and your image come into play here as well.... if you think opp is continuation betting a whiffed flop, you want to raise since they will likely fold, and probably won't pay you if you hit. OTOH, if your read is that opp won't bet unless he hits a flop, and he bets into your QJ on a KTx board, I'm smooth calling all day because AK is coming over the top if you raise, and will likely pay off the str8.

i hate using the % numbors much easier to do the math with the ratio numbors... These are numbors to hit on the very next card as if you were on the turn going to the river... or the flop hitting on the turn...
