Sorry if this has already been covered.

I'm looking at page 217 on weighted implied odds and the 2nd full paragraph just seems weird to me.

50% of the time you hit a 9 or 8 overcard you're going to be behind to his range?

Hands within the listed range you will be behind if you catch the wrong out include:
- All the 66+ pairs (except 77..and 88 when you catch a 9)
- A8s and A9s when you catch the card where you're dominated
- A9o
- K9s

Note that in all these (except the pocket-pairs) you have to catch the 'wrong' out to still be behind. You still have a chance to catch the 'right' out.
In other words, your 98 will be good if you catch an 8 while he's holding A9o.


There are a lot of overcard type hands where you will still be ahead regardless of which overcard out you catch including stuff like:
- A7s and ATs+
- KTs+
etc, etc


I can try to figure out how that poker-stove type stuff works to confirm that this is all correct.

But I thought I would continue the discussion about the book here by bringing up this section because I think it's a particularly surprising an interesting one.
So much so that I'm having a tough time believing it.
