Default Re: pot odds and raising on the turn

[ QUOTE ]
I have a question about equity here. If you are HU at the turn, then theoretically, you need better than 50% equity to raise according to your argument.

If you are heads up then your raise can only be matched by exactly one caller, which means you are getting 1:1 on your raise. Therefore, you need a hand that is better than 1:1 to win, which is the same thing as saying your hand must be favored to win or that you have a better than 50% chance of winning.
