That's an excellent link!

However, there should be more mention (both in this thread and in that article) of unfavorable flops for ram/jam. Namely, straight draws don't want a two-suited flop, and flush draws don't want a paired flop.

when you have a pot equity edge, is the concept always assuming that all of your opponents will call?

Really good question.

Yes, it is assuming everyone will call. If you have 33% equity and bet for value, but only 1 person calls, from a value standpoint your bet was a theoretic mistake.

I use language here that isn't very convincing for a reason. I say it is a theoretic mistake from a value perspective becasue there are more reasons to raise than just to extract value. Example: if you have an equity edge at 33% you must have had at least 3 opponents. Now that only 1 person has called, your hand has 2 ways to win. It can win if it hits the draw you bet for value like before, but now it also has a better chance to win unimproved becasue you are HU.
