Default Re: A6s in the BB. A few decisions requiring input.

Ok, well then read it again because you're not getting it.

Reverse Implied Odds (from SSH): 1) The post is small 2) You are still on the preflop or flop betting rounds. 3) You have a weak made hand that may be best now, but is easy to draw out on.

Ok, so of these 3, the only similiarity is that we're only on the flop. We have no made hand and the pot is getting large.

Example: 92o in the BB flop is 9c 8c 2s against a few limpers. It's a weak made hand that is easy to draw out on. Any overcards, str8 draws, and flush draws will be able to draw. They are getting the implied odds from US. We will be the ones paying them off when they hit.

Implied Odds: Extra bets we make when we hit our hand. Turns a breakeven or slightly -EV pot odds call into a +EV one.

Backdoor Draws: A backdoor flush is 23:1 dog which equals about 1 out. However, it's worth slightly more because when we don't pick up the draw on the turn, we aren't calling a bet. Also, when we hit the draw, it's unlikely our opponents put us on that hand and therefore we usually can make up extra bets. All this totals up to 1.5 outs. Same for 1 gap str8 draws. 21.5:1 dog, 1.5 outs. You can discount *slightly* for splitting, not paying you off, whatever but very much.
