Yes, the math here - we must consider this like we consider a sword to have two edges - as you said, because this dumb animal has retardly chased down, he should still chase down by what you say. Vote yes on legalized marijuana. Neways - the point of betting here is as follows. Forget the pot when you're playing limit - use the pot size to read your opponents, (how stoned are they?!). Now stop thinking about pot size and hear this. Each time you place a bet, think about your bet as under a bell curve with your greatest expected value of play highlighting only the furthest region from the origin. The greatest expected value of betting are the bets placed furthest obscured from the origin as possible (hopefully to the right). Every time you place a bet later in the hand(with your opponent still drawing to the same outs as he was) your string of bets is becoming further obscured from the origin; you are doing your string of bets a great service. All the bets leading to this last bet you speak of tend closer to the origin of the bell curve than the bets placed later in this hand, hence a more positive value created to place bets later because his odds of winning at that point are DRAMATICALLY decreased and therefor your point of betting is dramatically increased as you approach the end of the hand. If your opponents are chasing heavily, jam that bitch.
