Re: Instead of the continuation bet...
[ QUOTE ]
you're getting 5.5-1 on a continuation bet
you're getting less than 2-1 on the turn raise
continuation bets are almost always good because you're always getting great odds

Eh, no. You don't get odds to bet. With the option to bet or check, you have infinite odds since you can take a card for free.
You can, however, give your opponent odds by betting. On the continuation bet, he get 6.5:1 to call and on the turn raise he gets 5.75:1 to call. The turn raise actually puts more pressure on him odds-wise, but all of this is meaningless if Villain was trying to checkraise the flop and is now crushing Hero.
