| I have a ??? this is purely hypothetical... say your use to 2/4 NL with a max pot of say 100. This hand comes up... you have A Qs on the button and raise you get three callers and flop comes down Js 10s 9d Ok once again I know this is not likely but say the pot gets up in excess of 4,000 between you and three other players, turn is a brick... and a guy push's in for his last 1,000. Your going to get laid 5:1 if you call this bet and hit. Here is my question, you have the odds to call, BUT you how does the level of stakes calculate into this... b/c your use to calling a bet of $50 bucks at most... If anyone understands what Im asking and can put it simpler... please help... lolol.. | ||

| I know pot odds are designed to pay off, in the long run, and this situation there is no long run.... its a ONE time deal. | ||

| If you are a winning player with a small bankroll, you would want to pass on the call despite getting correct pot odds IF calling and losing will increase your risk of ruin to a level which would make it likely that you would be out of action. In an extreme example: let's say I have a BR of $50,000 and earn an average of $100,000/yr off of that bankroll playing $30/60. Let's suggest that someone offers me a wager in which they will bet me $1,000,000 against my $50,000 on a 10:1 shot. While I am getting odds to call, I will decline the bet because 90% of the time I shall lose and be out of action which will mean I cannot make pos EV bets anymore. If I do not take the bet, I shall eventually win $1,000,000 but it shall be $60 at a time - but if I live long enough I shall make it 100% of the time with zero (not really but close enough) risk of ruin. Hope that's what you were asking and that this helps. | ||

| You hit the nail on the head, and thats what I thought too. I had thought that the odds are you are going to lose that pot, and you must be able to count on a pot being that high numerous times to get a fair shake at coming out on top. thnx angel | ||
