Default Re: Fundamental Theorem of Poker vs. Pot Odds

No, you're correct. It's an estimate that people apply for lower constituent probabilities, when 1/10 + 9/10 * 1/10 is almost = 1/10 + 1/10 . It's really not appropriate here unless the difference between 55% and 66% is negligible. To make the point that you're still a favorite, I guess that could be considered negligible.

And yes, as a 55-45 favorite you should be happy to get your money in on the flop.
