Dear Poker Peoples,

On the Chapter "After the flop"

in a Heads up situation after the flop, he said "Since I raised before the flop it is usually in my best interest to make a show of strength after the flop. and make a continuation bet about 65% of the time. I will make this bet about half the size of the pot. Remember that my opponents is going to flop a hand about 35% of the time, unless they flopped some super draw they are not getting the right pot odds (3 to 1) to choose a draw.

Question:

as I understand, assuming I bet half the pot (say I bet 1 dollar into a pot of 2 dollars). Making the headsup opponent having to bet 1 dollar into a pot of 3 dollars. that pot odds is 25% (1/4). and if the opponent flop 35% of the time which is more than 25%. Why are they not getting the right odds in chasing the draw?

Thank you!

Also, Phil Gordon's book isn't that good.

Read something like Baluga Whale's 'Easy Game'

sometimes it's just luck that happened to me, having a very strong hand with 95% end up losing
