are you saying he had a greater than 20% chance of winning the hand? When, I run AcQc2d against a pair, I get around a 40% chance of winning the hand.

Yes, I was say 20%+ equity, but was pitting him against 2 pairs rather than 1.

what relation do the immediate pot odds have to the odds of winning the hand on 7th street?

I think your 'necessary' outs vs the immediate pot odds is the best information you have at the time you are deciding to bet; however, if you really want to call anyway you can use your powers of rationalization and knowledge of implied odds, effective odds (etc) not to mention your feelings that you are about to HIT to go ahead and make the call/raise.
