Pulled from the strategy article on equity..
"So here we find a proper place to raise because we have high equity even with a non-made hand. A more common situation is when we have the nut flush draw on the flop (although it doesn't have to be as extreme as it was here where we also had straight and overcard outs). Our flush will arrive somewhere around 35% of the time before or on the river, which means that unless the board if paired, we have 35% equity in this pot. With two or more opponents, raising this flop is correct! We expect to win 35% of every bet that goes in, and if we put in less than one third of the bets (which we would be with two opponents), then we're winning money in the long run. This is a very common tactic among intermediate players (sometimes even over- and incorrectly used), and understanding why it's a winning play means understanding equity."
im not debating this play is correct but what do you do on the turn, i mean we are 35% to hit with two cards to come but is this theory negating the fact that we may face action on the turn and never even make it that far? what is our turn play in multiple scenarios? for some reason this doesnt click for me. anyone got a good explanation?
