On page 230 for HPFAP, bottom of second to last paragraph, sklansky says:
"Therefore, when your hand is barely worth a call in a heads-up situation, such as when you hold two overcards and are trying to catch a bluff, it is not worth a call when someone else has called ahead of you."
I've actually folded Big slick in No-Limit games against crazies. Call me crazy, but when it costs 30 cents to see the flop and $2-4 to see the Turn I'm going to fold if it doesn't hit.
But I was wondering what are the pot odd that I need to see the Turn and the River?
My Math:
52(deck)-2(hand) -3(flop) = 47 cards left
6 outs
6/47=12.8% to hit on turn requires 7.8:1 pot odds to stay for turn when at flop.
6/46=13% to hit on river 7.7:1 pot odds to stay for river when at turn.
Is this correct?
Also with a total chance of getting an overpair at 25.8% should you use this to change the amount of money you need to see to stay?
