Pot odds are the ratio between the money in the pot and the call cost. For example, if there is $100 in the pot and a $10 call, the odds are eleven to one in your favor. If you think your odds are better, you should call. Otherwise, you should fold. You should also consider the pot size.

Poker has a long history and is played in almost every country where card games are played. It is believed to have originated in Germany as a bluffing game, called pochen. It was later adapted into a French variant, called poque, and spread to New Orleans, where the game was first played on riverboats.
The goal of poker is to be the highest hand with the lowest hand. Players must ante a certain amount to start the game. They bet into a central pot and the highest hand wins the pot. Betting takes place in clockwise order and the winner of a hand is determined by the value of the highest hand.
