What are the pot odds on a one-third pot bet?

A one-third pot bet lays you 4-to-1, so you only need about 20% equity to call.

20% Equity needed to call
4 : 1 Pot odds

Small bets give you a great price. Risking 33 to win 133 means you break even calling just one time in five. Against a third-pot bet you can continue with weak draws and even backdoor equity, which is exactly why small bets get called so often.

Quick tip: Small bet, small price: a third-pot bet only needs 20% equity to call.
