Bones, in your example it would seem you're giving him the opportunity to make a correct fold, no? He gets to choose whether he wants to continue. You're just shoving it in blind.

Yeah...it's a sit n go. You should be doing exactly this about 200x/day.

But.. you're letting him play well. He folds when he and calls when he should. Why is this a good thing for us?

I guess you could change the example so that he is getting odds to draw to 6 outs, but you're probably getting called (correctly) then.

It doesn't matter if you are making him play correctly if you have no better option. Don't worry about what is correct for him. Worry about what is best for you. This usually means avoiding going broke, even if this costs you a little bit of chip EV.
