calculating pot odds
Hi everyone...I have a vague understanding of pot odds, but still have a few questions about just how you figure them out.
Assume after the flop for instance there is 100 in the pot and a player in front of you bets another 100. Obviously, this makes your pot odds 2 to 1. Assuming you raise another 100, that makes your pot odds 2 to 2 (am i right so far?). Now let's say a person behind you re-raises another 100 dollars, and the first player who bet in front of you folds. Now are your pot odds for a call 4 to 3, in which case the 4 is coming from what was in the pot plus the players bet and the other players raise (100 + 100 +200) and the 3 is coming from my raise and my call (200 + 1)? Or are they 6 to 1, in which case I'm incorporating my initial raise into the size of the pot I'm playing for. What I mean to say is should I no longer consider my intial raise MY money and instead treat it as money that's already in the pot that I'm trying to win. Thanks for your help, hope I made this clear.
