Sorry if it was talked about this many times, but couldin't find with search.
I always get confused about when I actualy become pot commited. Is it when half of my stack is in the pot or is it when pot is twice as big as my stack? Or both are true? Of course if it is heads up then its probobly very much the same(maybe except taking blinds into account) but if there is 3 or more players then it makes big difference - pot can be twice as big as my stack but my money in the pot would not even be half of my left stack.
Thanks.

Here is a link that will explain about being pot committed
http://www.pokerstrategy.com/glossary/Pot-committed
What type of game do you play? SSS, BSS, SnG? NL, FL? SH, FR? The article provides a nice explanation, perhaps I could give you some example situations based on the games you play.
OK, you play the same game I do, I find myself pot-committed in various situations, and when I do my prefered move is to simply push all-in.
EG1: I raise preflop and am re-raised. The ratio chart for when you are re-raised preflop is the first way to tell if you are pot-commited.
EG2: I raise preflop and get 1 caller and I must conti-bet. If the conti-bet = 45% or more of your stack you are pot-commited. This applies to any situation where you must make a bet
EG3: I am going to make a raise, but if I get even 1 caller the pot will be double my remaining stack.
EG4: I raised preflop and got a school of chum callers, the pot is now more than double my remaining tokens.
Maybe someone else could think of others
Pot committed means, that you get too good odds to fold. You often have to make a decision wether c/foling or bet/calling because you commit yourself with a bet and can't fold due to the odds and the probability to be still ahead.
Does that help?

That's a strategy where you buy in for 20BB and play mainly with the preflop edge you get by playing pretty tight and aggressive. It's a game of pure math.

What is SSS?
It stands for the Short Stack Strategy and it is a strategy that is recommended by PS to start on this strategy with your $50 if you want to learn NL cash games.
