If you are only concerned about hitting it on the
turn, the pot must have at least 4.2 times the amount you must place in the pot
to make this a profitable call. If you are playing no-limit holdem and a player
has moved all-in, if there is at least 1.9 times the amount you have to call in
the pot it is a correct call and will be profitable in the long run. Pot odds
are just a quick way of seeing if a bet will be profitable if you are in the same
situation thousands of times.
This is
a good time to point out something that is often confusing to beginning players
when computing pot odds. The beginning player often says “I already have
so much money in the pot” and thinks that this somehow goes into the computation
of the pot odds. The fact of the matter is that any money already in the pot is
not yours. It was yours before you put it in the pot, but the only way you will
get it back is to win the pot. This is the reason that money you have already
placed in the pot is not used in pot odds computation.
