is currently in the pot or what is likely to be. In lowball,
you might hear, "I knew I hadda beat an eight. I'm already

when comparing the odds against his making a winning hand with
how much he can win for his investment. (That is, if a player
stands to win $100 for a $50 investment, or 2-to-1, but the
odds against him are 3-to-1, he is not getting money
