Poker and Math

Poker is not just a card game of all luck. You have to use some basic math skills to be a winning player. You can pull off bluffs once in a great while . They say usually maybe 1 out every 18 hands  but you need to use math to win the most. Pot odds is very important. Pot odds means how much do you need to invest in the
pot to see another card or to call a bet on the turn or river, is it going to be worth how much money you need invest in the pot to win it, even if you think they have your hand beat .So if there's $1.00 in the pot and they make a bet on the river of .10 obviously you would make the call even if you have a mid pair. but If they made it $1.00 to call and you know your hand is beat obv you shouldn't invest in the pot.
Also using card outs to your advantage. If the flop comes 10,9,4. And you have Q,J and they made a bet of .25 into a $.75 pot you would want to make a call because you have two over cards a open ended straight draw and maybe some flush card outs. Which, outs are the cards you need to make the hand. So if a Q or J hit the turn ,you have top pair so theres  3 Q's left and 3J's left theres 6 outs right there. If a 8 or k comes that's your straight so theres another 8 outs.Amazing how many cards you could catch to win this pot .So its well to your advantage to make a call or even make a raise to build the pot up.Use math to take
advantage of becoming a winning poker player, Its fun.
