[SOLVED. Equation formatting problem.]
Hello,
I am reading Heads up no limit by collin moshman.
In one of the hands on the turn I calculate the pot odds are about 10 to 1, but the equity needed is 40% to make the call. I'm confused here because the odds are very good, but the percentage seems high. Which would you go by in this spot considering hero has a gutshot straight draw with an over card for 7 outs on the turn or 14% with the rule of 4 and 2 which is no way near 40% so I'm confused what you would want to do here.
Here's the book page (page 40);
Thank you
