## Definition
Implied Odds Are The Chips You Expect To Win On Later Streets When Your Draw Completes, Beyond What Is Already In The Pot. They Justify Calling With Hands Such As Small Pairs Or Suited Connectors When The Immediate Pot Odds Are Too Thin, Provided Stacks Are Deep And The Opponent Will Pay Off When You Hit.

- [Pot Odds](https://smarter.poker/glossary/pot-odds) ([Markdown](https://smarter.poker/glossary/pot-odds.md)): Pot Odds Compare The Size Of A Call With The Pot You Could Win. Divide The Call By The Total Pot After You Call To Find The Equity You Need: Calling 50 Into A Pot That Will Be 150 Needs 33 Percent. If Your Equity Is Higher Than That Break Even Point, The Call Makes Money Over Time.
- [Reverse Implied Odds](https://smarter.poker/glossary/reverse-implied-odds) ([Markdown](https://smarter.poker/glossary/reverse-implied-odds.md)): Reverse Implied Odds Are The Chips You Expect To Lose On Later Streets When You Make Your Hand But An Opponent Has Made A Better One. Dominated Hands Such As Weak Aces And Low Flush Draws Carry Heavy Reverse Implied Odds, Because They Often Win Small Pots And Lose Big Ones, Which Makes Them Worse Than Their Raw Equity Suggests.
- [Outs](https://smarter.poker/glossary/outs) ([Markdown](https://smarter.poker/glossary/outs.md)): Outs Are The Unseen Cards That Improve Your Hand To The Likely Winner. A Flush Draw Has Nine Outs And An Open Ended Straight Draw Has Eight. A Quick Estimate Of Your Chance To Hit Is Outs Times Four On The Flop, With Two Cards To Come, Or Outs Times Two On The Turn With One Card Left.
- [SPR (Stack To Pot Ratio)](https://smarter.poker/glossary/spr) ([Markdown](https://smarter.poker/glossary/spr.md)): SPR, The Stack To Pot Ratio, Is The Effective Stack Divided By The Pot At The Start Of A Street, Usually The Flop. A Low SPR, Below About Three, Means Top Pair Is Often Worth Getting All In. A High SPR, Above Ten, Rewards Hands That Can Make The Nuts And Punishes One Pair Hands That Overcommit.
