Implied Odds 2 to the flop

[BlibbityBlabbity]

If there is a pot sized bet then you are putting in (for example) 100 to a 200 pot. You need 1:3 pot odds to make the call. If you make the flush ON THE TURN then you need to be "sure" you can get another 100 from him to make your flop call correct.

If you don't make it on the turn and there is another pot sized bet (say 300) then you would then need to be "sure" you could get a call on a 600 bet on the river if you make your flush to make the turn call correct.

I would think the 100 (flop example) implied odds on the turn would be reasonable, but the river example is pretty unlikely to get a call even from a bad player.

I’m still working on better understanding implied pot odds, but I’d say they don’t apply here. The scenario you present is heads up, so unless we are talking about a tourney situation where he’s a short stack and would already be committed, there’s only so much money you’ll be able to get out of him if that flush hits. As you say, it’s not like he’s not going to see that it is out there.

Implied odds come into play more often in multiway pots, or in situations where you have the possibility of hitting a full house to beat a flush.

how about leading out on the turn if you make your flush and he checks to you? you're almost sure to get a call from a hand like AK.. especially since your average good player will assume you won't lead out with a flush.. and you may be representing one because it hit and he showed weakness.

Or try raising his continuation bet on the flop. If you miss, you may get a free card, or he may even fold if the K is a scare card to him. This sounds like a tourney situation based on the scenario, so the above recommendation is very dependent on relative stack sizes to each other and to the blinds.

But on a pure pot odds play, it's tough because flushes are obvious based on the board.
