How to play Texas Hold'em fixed limit
In Texas Hold'em fixed limit it is important with pot odds, the most common mistakes players make are calling with hands when they don't have pot odds. For example, you have to pay to call and the pot is 0. In total you have to pay to win a 0 pot, the bet you lay counts as belonging to the pot. That means the pay-out is 5 to 1. The idea with potodds is to have a better chance of winning than the odds for the pot. If you flop a flush draw you'll have 35% of hitting the flush and hopefully win with that. The odds for winning the pot is 2 to 1 if you're calling (with 35 % you will win slighty more than 1 out of 3 times to be exact) but the size of the pot gives you 5 to 1 in pay-out. That means you only need to win 1 out of 6 times in order to break even, thus you have correct pot odds to continue playing the hand with a 2 to 1 chance of winning. Incorrect pot odds would have been calling a 5 to 1 pot having less chance than 5 to 1 to win the pot.
