Message: [QUOTE="titans4ever, post: 624096, member: 2843"] Here it is a very basic example of it. You are a good player and give incorrect odds. I am a weaker betting player and give correct odds to call. 100 hands heads up you and me. Pot is $10 on the flop. You hold A 10 and I have 7 9 to a board of 10 8 2. You will win this hand 64% of the time to my 34%. You will play it the right way and I will the wrong way. Pot is $10 but has a goofy draw. You want to give incorrect odds for me to call but low enough I might gamble. You bet 1/2 the pot on flop and turn and do a nice 1/4 value bet on river. My hand is alittle hidden and I am loose so I call flop bet and turn bet no matter if I hit or not. I fold to any river bet unless I hit my straight. The hands you win you will win $5 preflop + $5 flop + $10 on turn = $20 from me each time you win. I will win $5 +$5 +$10 +$10 (river bet you fold when I push all-in and you fold) = $30. You will make $20 x 64 = $1280 on the hands you win and lose $30 x 34 = $1020 for a profit of $280. This is crude at best because you bet $10 every time even though you should see there is a straight draw out there. But you see you still will make money doing it. Same set up but now I get to be the A 10 and you the draw. I am weaker and don't like to bet. I only do $3 all the way down (you see people bet like this all the time, and it also gives your opponent correct odds to call). You will do the same call and reraise. I will only win $5 + $3 + $3 = $11 for the hands I win but only loose $14 when I don't. 64 x $11 = $704 for when I win and 34 x $14 = 476 on my loses for a profit of $228. I only made $228 and you made $280. You made $52 more than me on the same 100 hands. Long term you made money and more of it. This is a very simplifed example. This doesn't even consider the fact that you will check/fold some of the rivers when you see the straight and don't want to pay them off. [/QUOTE]
