Implied Odds - Online Poker

'Implied Odds' can be used when playing online poker. They are pot odds that take into account what you expect your opponents may bet into the pot (future betting). They are calculated the same as pot odds with this addition.

So when are they used? They are calculated at times where a player expects to fold in the following round if he doesn't hit his hand, and so not losing any more bets. At the same time will expect to gain additional bets when he hits his hand. Players will expect to always gain additional bets in later rounds when the draw is made whilst never losing any additional bets when the draw is missed. The extra bets that the player expects to gain, excluding his own, can be added to the current size of the pot. This adjusted pot value is known as the implied pot and subsequent implied odds.
