i understand what he is saying now, i think.

he also mentioned another point...if we get bet at, and think we are getting raised behind, our prospects arent so good anyway because there are two strong hands out against us. if we hold the best hand, but it has little room for improvement (slight overpair, TPTK), we need to strongly consider dumping before we compound our mistake regardless of the odds at the time.

that one is the same as when we are last to act and we get a bet and a raise in front of us pf, but we hold a mid pp. we prolly arent getting odds for a set, but, in addition, the strength being advertised in front of us should tell us we are likely well behind, too.

thanks for helping me clarify. i knew sklansky was smarter than me...dammit.
