I can't remember this example, but I think the gist might be this: If you decide to continue with the hand, you need to fold out all the people with overcards, gutshots etc. Your pot equity is much better if you can fold these hands out. If you call at small stakes, you will get plenty of calls behind, and half the pack on the turn is a scare card. Better to raise and try and get it HU.

You have a backdoor draw + middle pair + overcard so it's worth playing the hand, but you get more equity by folding people out.

I could be wrong, I am completely guessing, LOL [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
