Just want to correct a couple of things from a few posts ago...

These are backwards. You want your pots odds to be higher than your "outs ratio" as you put it (your odds against making the hand).

Example: If your opponent makes a small turn bet, say $3 into a $12 pot, giving you 5:1 pot odds (you need to bet $3 to win $15), and you have a draw to the nut flush, then it's an insta-call, because you're about a 4:1 underdog to make your hand. He's pricing you in by giving you pot odds greater than your odds against making your hand. If he bets $5 into the pot then it's a toss-up and you have to decide whether he's going to put any more money into the pot if your flush hits (implied odds). If he bets $10, it's a clear fold, unless he's a terrible player and you think he'll pay off a big bet on the river if you make your flush.
