Implied Odds
Implied odds extend pot odds by factoring in the additional money you expect to win if you hit your draw. While pot odds only consider the current pot, implied odds account for future bets you can extract from opponents. This concept is especially important with deep stacks and disguised draws, where hitting your draw can win you many times the current bet.
Example
You call a $10 bet into a $30 pot with a flush draw, expecting to win an additional $80 if you hit — your implied odds justify the call.
