Are pot odds at all useful in online poker?

[acidjazz99]

Pot odds are essential no matter where you play poker. Pot odds tell you whether or not its profitable to chase your draw. Using pot odds is a LONG TERM strategy. If you are on playing only 50 hands a week you probably will not see the advantage that playing based on pot odds gives you. But over the long haul (thousands of hands) if you play based on pot odds against the maniacs who play any 2 cards, you will come out ahead and they will lose their whole bankroll.
