    The implied odds equation can be re-written as this (maybe more intuitive):
    (odds)*(bet) < (pot) + (ESS).

    The (odds)*(bet) is how much we need to win to make the right call.
    E.g. if the odds are 8:1, then we need to win 8 times our bet to break even w/ 0EV.

    We want the amount already in the pot (pot) plus the amount we can get our opponents to put in the pot (ESS) to be greater than our 0EV win.

    Therefore, we want the (odds)*(bet) to be less than (pot) + (ESS)


    Does this math make sense to you now?
