    Default What pot odds to use?

    I have a quick question about how you do you pot odds in LIMIT Hold’em.

    Hypothetically:
    You have 2 overs (6outs) and they will make the best hand.

    24.1% on turn or river (3.1:1)
    12.8% on turn (6.8:1)
    13% on river (6.7:1)

    After the flop do you make your next call based on the pot odds for:
    1) for the turn or river, or
    2) the next card only?

    I know this is a newbie question but I think it may be a BIG leak in my game as well as others since I have been making the call based on the next 2 cards to come.

    It's read-dependent. If opp is c-betting, and you're pretty sure heshe won't take another shot at the turn, you can take the two-card odds of course.

    If opp is pretty aggressive, you can accept a little less than the one-card odds, because heshe will likely bet again and/or call you if you hit on the next one, adding to the payoff you can expect.

    Thanks for the second opinion.

    I'll take that into account.
