I know the basics about poker - hands, betting etc. I don’t really get when it’s said someone is getting 2 to 1 on his money to call. I also don’t get when they talk about implied odds. Can anyone explain this so it’s easy to understand and I can start to apply it?

Implied odds are the odds for making your hand plus how much you’re likely to get paid off if you do. I can’t tell you how to apply it, it’s something you either get or you don’t. There’s a lot more feel involved than math. If you want to understand it you should start thinking about it when making decisions. If you pay attention to the right feelings you’ll eventually get the hang of it.
