# Reverse Implied Odds

## Definition
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.

- [Implied Odds](https://smarter.poker/glossary/implied-odds) ([Markdown](https://smarter.poker/glossary/implied-odds.md)): 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.
- [Equity](https://smarter.poker/glossary/equity) ([Markdown](https://smarter.poker/glossary/equity.md)): Equity Is Your Share Of The Pot Based On How Often Your Hand Would Win If All Remaining Cards Were Dealt With No Further Betting. A Hand With 40 Percent Equity In A 100 Chip Pot Owns 40 Chips Of It On Average. Equity Against A Whole Range, Rather Than One Hand, Is What Drives Sound Decisions.
- [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.
- [Value Bet](https://smarter.poker/glossary/value-bet) ([Markdown](https://smarter.poker/glossary/value-bet.md)): A Value Bet Is A Bet Made Because Worse Hands Will Call It Often Enough To Show A Profit. The Test Is Simple: If The Opponent Calls, Are You Ahead Of Most Of The Hands They Call With? Value Bets Pay For Bluffs In A Balanced Strategy, And Missing Them Costs More Money Than Most Players Realize.
