another example might be ace jack of hearts on a jack ten nine all spades flop.

I'm not entirely certain but I believe reverse implied odds only come to play when you are ahead and can be easily outdrawn.

Actually RIO is heaviest in situations where you may or may not be ahead, but IF you are ahead your opponent probably has many outs while IF you are not ahead you probably have few or no outs or may even be drawing dead. Also it usually involves the stipulation that your opponent will have some kind of strategic advantage like position or being able to read your hand better than you can read his.

Here's the example straight out of SSHE:

Hand: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Board: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Preflop: Two players limp, the SB completes, and in the BB you check.
Flop: pot = 4 SB; the small blind bets into the field

Small pot, we may or may not be ahead, lots of opportunity for bad guys to draw out if we are ahead.

IMO, RIO is just another way of saying "fold marginal hands in small pots."
