It's not important how the situation would arise... it's just important that you understand what he is saying. i.e. that you need to take into account future bets if you are going to be calling more than one street. Take a look at a more simple example:

An opponent bets $20 into you on the flop in a 20/40 game when you have a marginal hand and there is $40 in the pot. You are getting 3:1 on your call... and you think there is a 25% chance your hand is going to be good at the river. Looks good, right? No. Since we are going to call all the way down we need to add in the bets on the turn and river as well. 20 (flop bet) + 40 (pot) + 40 (turn bet) + 40 (river bet) : 20 (flop call) + 40 (turn call) + 40 (river call) = 140:100 = 1.4:1. So we need to be good around 40% of the time to make this calldown correct.

This too is a made-up example... just understand that if you plan on calling future bets it makes your odds less attractive then they look at the moment. You might have already understood that...so if you did disregard this post [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
