Re: Creating Odds f or yourself with draws
1. It's really rare to not have odds to see a flush draw through to the river.
2. Even in these situations, "giving yourself odds" is obviously completely ridonkulous. Your actually making the draw more expensive (over the hand) when you make the decision "to give yourself odds".
3. Perhaps your friend is getting confused with semi-bluffing, where you think that fold equity (e.g. you have reasont to think your opponent may be weak) + your outs makes raising a +EV play. When the fold equity part of this play fails, you have often now given yourself odds to get through the turn. However, capping the flop on a semi-bluff is rarely correct and is normally going to be a very costly mistake.
