I don't agree with this. You are 2-1 to improve by the river, but in limit poker you have to pay to get there virtually all of the time.

To be for pure value, you need the number of players involved in the street to exceed the odds of getting there on the next street. And there are also reverse implied odds you inflict on yourself in other situations (flush draw and overs if you hit your over on the end and have to make a thin call in a 10BB pot).

If you're constantly jamming draws on flops with only two opponents for pure value, I think you're misguided.
