What is the difference between MDF and pot odds??
I'm trying to get a beter understanding of the maths in poker and I'm struggling with MDF. To me MDF seems the same as pot odds. But it's obviously not because the formulas are different.
MDF:
pot size / (pot size + bet size)
Pot odds:
(bet size) / (pot size + bet size + call size)
When an opponent bets, I use pot odds and equity to work out "what hands to call with". Which to me is the same as saying "what hands to defend with". What is MDF doing that's different?? Is it ok to not worry about MDF or is it important.
