I thought it was x4 on the turn and x2 on the river?

last one should be a call, implied odds are very good

@Hadesofthe07 You really have no idea what you're doing. You would be getting 1 to 1.2 odds first off, and just because KK is 29% to win against 8 random hands doesn't mean you're REALLY 29%. You just call/go all-in with it. The only hand that is beating you is AA, other than that you are a massive favorite to any hand you're against. Way better than 1 to 1.2 odds of winning.

Hey there! Have you seen the book How to Shake the Online Poker Money Tree ? I got some helpful advice from it and now can play like a pro and just won a large tournament with no sweat.

@lellinger You are confusing people! On the turn you also have to use x2 rule, because only ONE card is to come. x4 rule is only applied if both opponents get all in on the flop. Otherwise you always check the odds of ONE CARD to come!!!

to summarize what i just said, if u bet 5xpot your giving 45% pot odds, its impossible to come anywhere near these odds @ a 9 player table because aces are only have about 34.5%. so by betting high enough you can make sure that the pot odds you are giving are always higher than the players odds to win the pot meaning if they follow the the formula pot odds < odds=fold, you could win every hand just by betting big. so techincally the adice is flawed

Can anyone tell me im wrong if i say the vieo is wrong, spesifically when she says "only call if odds are greater than pot odds". for example if I have KK and a player who is first to act leads out with a massive 25,800 raise, prior to this raise the pot contained 6800. so 32,600/22,800

1.429:1

1/2.429= 1.429

41% = pot odds

im next to act, with 8 players still in the hand the odds for my KK (roughly 29%) dont exceed the pot odds of 41%. calling is obviously the correct play so IS VID WRONG?
