Chase the low draw?

When I wrote my blue, red, white colored chips example for Tex, I was bending over backwards to give Tex's point of view the benefit of the doubt. I thought the chip stacking demonstration might be able to clearly and graphically demonstrate that Hero did not have 8 to 1 implied pot odds, nor even 4 to 1 implied pot odds. Maybe the directions for the colored chips example were not entirely clear. I could possibly make them clearer if someone I believe thinks that might be helpful to him/her.

The colored chips example was one of the first I saw Buzz use to show how much more valuable scooping is rather than splitting. If you haven't gone through these exercises yourself yet, I suggest you do so. Greg Raymer talks about liking split pot games because opponents make more mistakes. Understanding these split-pot concepts will go a long way to correcting these mistakes.
