So maybe I'm confusing concepts. Using the example you described (TP on a 9-high board); let's say that there are 2 over cards in play within V's range and none for our actual hand. This gives V ~12% to hit one of his over cards on the Turn. We know that V will call a 1/2PSB and fold to a larger bet.
My thinking is if V calls the 1/2PSB and hits his card on the Turn; he still made a mistake by calling at 3:1 direct odds.V realized his equity, but over the long run is getting a negative return. Are you saying that the correct play is to induce a fold?
If this is the case then why doesn't this apply to any hand needing protection, say TP vs the straight draws in a V's range? We certainly don't want to bet so large that we induce a fold; rather we want V to call and take a bad price.
