Thanks for the quick response. Wouldnt it be clearer to say something like

"The value of checking the flop if Y checks behind, assuming that X bets the turn when it doesnt complete Y's hand is

<X, X checks-Y checks flop> = [p(Y misses turn)][p(Y misses river)(new pot value) - (cost of bet)]"

I'm really enjoying the book. If I come across anything else thats unclear to me, I'll make a post about it. I appreciate the authors' hard work.
