Thanks for the explanation. I'll need to pay attention to this more for sure.
How often do you think you get paid 8:1 in general in heads up? Here Hero would have got 9:1 payoff and that was with very heavy betting on the end. You would think a decent amount of the time you are going to get boards that the villian will not want to keep pouring money into. Is there a general rule for what you want on the high end of implied odds in these situations?

How does calling change if you were not the last to act and faced the possibility of reraises? Obviously implied odds are only getting better if you happened to get only calls behind you, but how do you balance pot odds of calling vs implied odds with more players yet to act?

Sorry, lot of questions, but just trying to learn.
