And probably the most difficult to estimate are the implied odds. If you do make your draw, how much money can you expect to make in later betting rounds.
Implied odds are interesting in that they can make very bad hands more playable because if you do hit, then the likelihood that your opponent believes that they are winning is higher (because the chances of such a bad hand being played rather than folded immediately should be low) and thus the probability that you can elicit more money from them is higher.
Small pairs and low suited connectors are good examples of these kinds of hands. Your pre-flop chance of winning with a pair of 2's on a full table is pretty low. But if the flop is 2-K-A, you will likely get a lot of action.
