There are no implied odds in a 1-street game, only pot odds.
Are there blinds? If there are no blinds and no rake, you should just fold everything <99.
EDIT: Actually that will not maximize your EV... I think the following will
From the last two positions, you should raise any number >50 if everyone else has folded. From 3rd position... I think you raise 100 - N-/100 where N is number of players remaining.
Assuming it's folded around to you:
[code]
N = Players Remaining. Formula = 100 - N/100
N=2 50
N=3 67
N=4 75
N=5 80
N=6 82.5
N=7 86
N=8 87.5
N=9 90
72o is much better than 32o heads up (in poker)
KQs is better than A8o vs many players... but I'm not sure where the breakeven point is.
Unless demonstrated otherwise, assume the other players know the above formula. Then, if someone else enters the pot first, you should only call/raise if your number is higher than their minimum raising standard.
I'm pretty sure you should never call... but I could be wrong.
If everyone plays by these rules, then you should never bluff. If players are tighter than this, you can bluff (by some formula exactly cancelling their excess tightness).
If there are blinds (like in HE), I think you lower all the requirements slightly to account for the dead money. (i.e., it folds to you with 5 remaining - with no blinds need an 80 or better to open - for an even money bet. You can actually open for a sligtly lower number - probably some formula you can calculate by the ratio of your bet size to blind size.
Note that this is very close to HOH1 - with some misdirection and suitedness thrown in.
