What it means at the table

SPR is the effective remaining stack divided by the pot size, usually measured on the flop.

Why it matters

SPR tells you whether a strong made hand or draw can commit now or needs pot control across later streets.

Decision checkpoint

Ask this before money goes in

Table question

How many pot-sized bets are left, and does my hand want them going in now?

Rule of thumb

Low SPR favors commitment; high SPR rewards nut potential, position, and redraws.

Table example

A set plus nut-flush draw at SPR 2 can often stack off; the same hand at SPR 10 has more turn and river work to do.

Leak to avoid

Treating hand strength as fixed without asking how many pot-sized bets are still behind.
