Re: Rule of 2 and 4: If you call on the flop, must you call on the tur
I recommend that you start thinking in terms of one street at a time . You should be using the 2x rule more often than not .
Using your example , you have about an 18% chance of hitting your outs on the turn but you're getting 2:1 pot odds . So if your opponent will not put in a single dime on the turn , then clearly calling is incorrect . If he bets another 6.45 on the turn every single time , then your true odds are about 16.35:4.95 ~3.3:1 and so you need to hit about 23% of the time . So calling is still incorrect .
Moral of the story is that it's usually incorrect to call a psb with a flush draw unless your opponent is extremely spewy . A few things need to be true . You need to assure yourself that if you hit , you will be payed well on the turn and river and that there is a good chance he is holding a strong hand .
