In Response To: General poker question (OT) (Chuck Bower)

It's hardER to do that. Most drawing hands will have near correct pot odds to call on the flop, but once you reach the turn, the bet size doubles, so your odds significantally decrease. The main difference between the two games is really in the implied odds. If I know that if I hit my draw, my opponent will stack off to me in NL, I can call with a draw which has slightly incorrect pot odds because I can count the amount in his stack as already in the pot. The problem with implied odds is that you have to be able to put your opponent (correctly) on a narrow range of hands, and then hit your draw and get him to stack off to you.

With limit poker, the implied odds calculations are always easier, because if your opponent has say top pair top/good kicker and a flush draw hits, he will probably be check/calling down to the river, so you get two more bets max out of him, 3 if you can check raise him.
