I saw the show, but I don’t recall this hand. I'm getting tired, to be honest. I do recall his saying, "Reverse implied odds, AKA … ." Does anyone remember what followed the AKA?
Anyway, Rich, if I understand your question corrrectly, I can still take a stab at it.
Sometimes you have implied odds in addition to your pot odds. You know that if you make your straight, you'll go on to win a lot more of the villain's stack.
Often you have reverse implied odds. You might be drawing to that same open-ended straight, but two of those needed cards would give your opponent a flush. If you make your straight, you might go on to lose more of your stack. In the above case, you have an unlikely possibility of hitting two runners to make an eight-high or a five-high straight. (I think that's equivalent to having two outs. Can anyone please correct or confirm this.) You also have a possibility of hitting your four or five. The point is that hitting your hand could cause you to lose more of your stack. You have reverse implied odds.
