    Not withstanding Taylor’s explanation here of when to be using pot odds, I have this question. You asked “What are they betting that I beat?” But I’m guessing you calculated the pot odds on either hitting your flush or straight draws? Hence in that case aren’t you really admitting that you are behind, but the odds favor a call to try and hit your draw? So unless you are also trying to calculate reverse implied odds, isn’t it almost irrelevant that you aren’t currently ahead?

    For the record, in game I would have played the hand exactly the same way, but that shouldn’t be much comfort to any of you!
