How to use pot odds. If you are dealt Kc Jc. Flop comes Ac 3c 6s. You have 9 outs to a flush. 6 outs to middle pair. You are 4.1-to-1 to make your flush. If the pot is offering more than 4.1-to-1 than you should correctly play. How to determing if the you are getting correct pot odds. On the flop say you are playing 1/2 limit. 5 people are in the pot and the pot is $12 and it is $2 to you. You are getting 6-to-1 pot odds. 12 divided by 2 gets the 6 to 1. So you should correctly call.

Same hand lets say the pot is only $6 and its $2 to you. Giving you 3-to-1 you should fold. See the 6 divided by 2. 6/2=3.

This does not take into effect implied odds. But, for now if your a beginer this should help you make correct decisions when faced with draws.
