How it works

Pot odds = the call / (final pot). With pot 100 and a bet of 50, you risk 50 to win 150 — you need 25% equity.

Each out is one card that improves you to the best hand. Multiply outs by 2 for the next card, by 4 for both streets to the river (approximate).

If your equity is higher than the equity the pot requires, calling is +EV. If it's lower, fold (unless implied odds save you).

Equity needed  =  Call / (Pot + Bet + Call)

Equity (next card) ≈ Outs × 2     Equity (by river) ≈ Outs × 4

These are the same numbers winning players run in their head on every street.

How much equity you need versus a standard sizing.
