Default Re: Equity and pot odds question: Do I understand this?

Thanks for the word, AKQJ10. I also said that because I've been playing more NL hold em tourneys then anything else. For example if I hold 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]-10[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and the flop is j[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], then I'd probably bet half the pot. This way someone like A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]-K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] doesn't have the pot odds to continue. If the turn and river were hearts, then the folded hand would have had the nut flush, but betting on the flop would make him fold because it was a long shot that it would go runner-runner.
