So when a very good player raises the flop, I start worrying that he has AA or KK and don't really fear QQ down. Then to mix it up he should also raise big flush draws (say AQs and AJs). So in that case you will be somewhere in the range of a 9:1 dog and you are getting 9.7:1 to call the turn. You can see why this would put you in a quagmire.

One thing though. How did you come up with 9:1 dog. There are 2 big flush draw combos, and 6 ways to make either AA or KK. So we are a 6:2 or 3:1 dog, no? And now calling down seems much more attractive versus a good player. What am I missing?
