Why don't you try? You are 80% to win, what are the odds of winning?

Lets play a coin-flip game.
I pay you $2 if heads come, you pay me $1 if tails come. Do you play this game?

Given above, pot is 100. Do you call a 10 bet with 93o? What about QJ? What about a 100 bet with QJ? Odds allow an analytical answer to these questions.

I briefly looked for an odds post but couldn't find one. You will own these people if you put in the time to learn.
I tried to explain odds to a friend at work. One day he won our little tourney and told me that using odds messed up his game, and that playing by feeling was better. He rivered a winning card at least 5 times in that game. It will be awhile before he wins again. Do you see why?
