Odds Vs Possibility
I did a search, and didn't find a thread like this one out there, but if I missed it, point me in the direction, and I'll be there.
I got 4 spades, I have to ask, what are the ODDS I'll catch my flush on 4th or 5th street right? Or is it wrong, am I actually looking for the possibility that I'll catch my flush?
Let me give further example. Suppose I caught two A high flushes(OF SPADES) in a row(Sequential hands, one right after the other) Ok, next hand I get delt Ax of spades. I see two Spades on the flop. NOW, The possibility would be the same, but the Odds of hitting it a third time would be much lower.(Right?)
Say I was dealt A's. SURE The possibilty of being dealt A's 17 more times in a row is equal assuming the deck is shuffled between each hand, but the Odds are extreamly low. JUST LIKE the Odds of being dealt an ace high spade flush three times in a row.
Anyway, my question is simple really(Despite the post length). When I'm told "pot Odds" Is it really possibility or no?(I'm asking sincerly because I don't know.)
