That makes perfect sense - thank you.

I was initially wondering where that 4.6 came from, but after pondering it a while, it's the pot odds subtracted from the odds of making my straight, right?

Your post is a great help, thanks. I just have to try and absorb everything here and apply it to future hand analyses. Particularly equity calculations; I'm not used to even roughly performing them in my head while in play.

I did end up folding in this hand, so it's nice to know I'm at least heading in the right kind of direction in terms of reasoning.
