Reverse Implies Odds

[grapabo]

I thought reverse implied odds worked like this example:

-- You have A-7 suited heads up going to the flop.
-- Flop comes down with an Ace and two cards of your suit.
-- Opponent bets $40 into a pot of $70, making it a pot of $110, $40 to go.
-- You put opponent on a big ace that has you dominated at the moment.

In order to correctly price the call, the reverse implied odds principle tells you that if you go chasing the flush, you're going to have to pay off the turn bet that the opponent will make if you don't hit the third suited card, and if you hit the third suited card on the turn or river, you might not get any more money in the pot if the opponent believes you made your hand.

Implied odds tell you how much you'll be paid off after making your hand. Reverse implied odds tell you how much you'll have to pay to see if you make your hand.
