Default Re: question about the backdoor

When the pot is >20 bets, you want to chase any two-card backdoor flush and any no-gap three-straight with no flush on board for one bet for sure.

SSHE has a system of calculating these types of draws. If you consider a BDFD as +1.5 outs, a three-straight as +1.5 outs, a one gap threestraight as +1.0 outs and a two gap threestraight as +0.5 outs then you can calculate whether you should continue or not (I think those numbers are correct).

In this example you have a total of three outs getting thirty to one, so a fold would be pretty bad no?
