Default Re: Waiting till the turn to protect a hand

One thing about a flush draw on the turn. Say it's HU or 3 way on the turn. Even if the pot is giving them odds to call, that doesn't mean that they are making money on each additional bet they have to put in. They are losing money, it's just the pot odds make up for it.

On the turn, they are not sharing equity with additional bets going in the way they are on the flop.

For instance. If the pot were small on the flop, yet there were 4-5 people in, even if there was no pot, they can make money on the flop with the odds they are getting on their money to make their hand if everyone is putting a bet in. This isn't true if there was no pot, yet only 4 people on the turn. They have no pot odds to call, and putting a bet in, there isn't enough people to (immediately) cover the odds of hitting his hand.
