For               a               beginning               gambler,               sitting               at               a               Texas               Hold-em               table               can               be               an               intimidating               experience.

The               strategies,               scare               tactics,               and               sunglasses               create               an               overwhelming               and               discouraging               atmosphere,               leaving               the               beginner               scrambling               to               find               his               or               her               own               playing               approach.

But               there               are               things               you               can               do               to               increase               your               odds.

Such               as               following               simple               techniques,               like               knowing               how               to               bluff               and               knowing               how               to               figure               pot               odds.

While               competing               strategies               and               theories               do               abound,               simple               techniques               can               help               you               stay               grounded               and               eventually               build               a               more               sophisticated               poker               game.

For               instance,               while               it               may               at               first               seem               risky               and               frightening               to               bet               before               the               flop,               it               is               an               excellent               way               to               increase               your               odds               of               ending               with               the               top               poker               hand.

Betting               just               enough               to               knock               out               squeamish               players               insures               that               their               seemingly               "weak"               hands               do               not               turn               into               great               hands               after               the               flop.

.
               
               A               seven               and               two               is               notoriously               the               worst               hand               dealt               in               Texas               Hold-em,               but               if               the               seven               and               two               appear               in               abundance               later,               that               worst               hand               becomes               a               hand               that               will               beat               your               high               pair.

By               betting               confidently               early,               you               not               only               eliminate               potential               competitors,               but               make               a               positive               statement               about               your               own               hand.

.
               If               you               end               up               with               a               top               hand               then               you've               established               a               hefty               pot               that               you               can               confidently               collect.

If               you               end               up               with               a               half               way               decent               hand               you've               created               the               sense               that               you               have               a               strong               hand,               allowing               you               to               bluff               other               players               out               of               the               pot.

In               either               scenario,               betting               confidently               early               proves               to               be               more               effective               than               limping               in               after               other               players'               bets,               which               only               drains               your               chips               and               makes               no               positive               statement               about               your               cards.
               One               of               the               most               neglected               issues               of               Texas               Hold-em               Poker               is               pot               odds.

This               is               especially               true               of               the               beginner               and               occasional               players.

Most               have               never               even               heard               of               the               term               pot               odds.

Furthermore               of               those               who               have               heard               the               term,               very               few               of               them               know               how               to               put               pot               odds               to               good               use               when               playing               Texas               Hold-em               Poker.
               However               knowing               how               to               calculate               and               use               pot               odds               is               one               of               the               best               weapons               that               any               serious               Texas               Hold-em               Poker               player               can               have.

Being               able               calculate               pot               odds               is               a               great               advantage               to               you               in               playing               poker.

Knowing               the               pot               odds               will               make               you               a               much               better               poker               player               and               strengthen               your               odds               of               going               home               with               some               money               in               your               pocket.
               Many               Texas               Hold-em               Poker               beginners               feel               overwhelmed               at               the               idea               of               learning               to               figure               the               pot               odds.

Poker               pot               odds               are               often               associated               with               complicated               math               calculations.

However,               don't               worry               about               this.

You               don't               need               to               be               a               math               genius;               it               is               really               very               simple               to               figure               pot               odds.
               All               good               poker               players               have               a               method               of               calculating               the               odds               easily               and               quickly.

This               is               how               they               are               able               to               know               if               the               odds               are               in               their               favor.

They               are               able               to               do               this               quickly               and               accurately               during               the               pressure               of               the               poker               game.
               Here               is               a               simple               way               to               break               down               poker               pot               odds.

"If               the               odds               of               you               getting               the               card               you               need               to               make               your               hand               are               less               than               the               pot               odds,               then               you               should               bet."               There               are               two               sides               to               this.

1)               "Odds               of               you               getting               the               card               you               need"               2)               pot               odds.
               First               you               need               to               figure               the               odds               of               you               getting               the               card               you               need,               this               is               easy               to               understand.

The               best               way               to               explain               it               is               using               a               straight               draw               as               the               example.

You're               playing               in               a               Texas               Hold-em               game               and               your               pocket               cards               are               Q,               T,               and               the               flop               is               9,               J,               3.

In               order               for               you               to               get               a               straight               you               need               to               draw               either               an               8               or               a               King               on               the               turn               or               river               so               you               have               eight               possible               cards               that               make               a               straight,               four               Kings               and               four               eights.

These               are               known               as               your               "out"               cards.
               You've               seen               five               cards               out               of               the               deck,               your               own               pocket               cards               and               the               three               flop               cards.

That               means               there's               47               cards               that               you               haven't               seen.

Out               of               the               forty               seven               remaining               cards,               eight               of               them               will               help               you               and               thirty               five               won't,               so               the               odds               of               you               getting               the               card               you               need               are               35:8.
               Now               to               figure               the               pot               odds               you               need               to               know               the               size               of               the               pot               and               the               amount               you               need               to               put               into               the               pot.

So               if               the               pot               is               $100               and               you               need               to               bet               $10               to               call               your               pot               odds               are               100:10.
               In               this               example               the               pot               odds               100:10               are               bigger               than               the               odds               of               you               getting               the               card               you               need               35:8               so               you               should               call               the               bet.


               This               is               a               simplification               of               Texas               Hold-em               Poker               pot               odds               and               there               are               other               considerations               to               remember               such               as;               will               the               players               after               you               in               the               round               of               betting               add               to               the               pot?

This               would               make               your               bet               even               better               as               it               would               increase               the               pot               odds               but               this               of               course               is               an               unknown               factor.
               Understanding               Texas               Hold-em               pot               odds               will               help               your               game               and               prepare               you               for               playing               in               the               big               leagues               some               day.
