Re: Free Showdown
I like James' example much more than Elindaur's.
Very few villians will 3bet the turn with just a draw. Obviously if you suspect your opponent is one of those villians you don't make the play. Having the board be drawy can be a plus if you charge your opponent extra money to beat you.
In E's hand I don't like it because we have outs and are getting 8:1 on a call. We have four outs to the virtual nuts with the gutshot (and maybe we get paid big if he hit) plus we have an overcard which will often be good. If our hand was something like AJ instead then I'd like the play here a lot more.
I do agree that the play gets better as the chances that your opponent will fold a better hand increases.
