Many movies have made the art of the poker tell famous, from finger tapping to breath holding every player has responses based on what cards are in their hand and how they feel they are doing in the game. The best players are capable of hiding these tells, or using them as part of a bluff in order to convince the other players at the table that they have a better or worse poker hand than they actually come.
Pot odds is a poker term that is used to describe the ratio of the size of the poker pot, created by both the starting ante, where applicable, and the bids that have gone in during play, to the cost of calling the hand and bringing out the reveal. Ideally, as a player, you want to capture the highest pot odds possible as that number represents how much your winnings are as compared to what you had to put in towards those winnings.
