Re: pot odds and stuff
I agree with JayP, this is the red is due arguement.
The part that you are getting hung up about is

but if you made 7 out of the first ten you folded, then next 10 you call, you should make 0.

The next 10 you call could be 10. This is one case where the cards (or hands played have no memory) like a roulette wheel (double 0) The probability of you hitting red is the exact same on every spin. Only through extremely long trial will you see that red is made 47% of the time.
Again one of the other key points is if you play that same hand over and over 1 million times you will make it 35% of the time. Each trial (a complete hand with a new shuffled deck) is independent of each other.
Let me try from a different angle if not clear yet
someone has to get the formula I don't have it at my finger tips ( and for the life of me I can't recreate it right now). But the formula remains the same hand to hand.
Hope that lead you down the right path
Crash
PS can someone post how 65% and 35% were derived.
