It's funny how people call huge bets with crap b/c of the 'implied odds'. Yes when you play pp's you have a decent shot at a set. But trying to flop 2 pair wit rags? Seems like an effective way to bleed off chips to me.
Basically what you are doing is calling a huge bet when you know you're drastically trailing. Um...? ... Odds of flopping 2 pair < 10 percent im pretty sure, so I guess
1. you'd have to be playing against a huge donk who overbets his AA/KK pf and then leads the flop. and
2. Get him to commit 10x his pf overbet by the river, even when facing resistance.
So if you facing a tremendous donk, who broadcasts all his hands, and will go allin with 1 pair, then u can call on 'implied odds'. But then again these players are giving it away on every hand anyway.
BTW i know u think ur cowboy when u call a 10bb bet with 69o on Party Poker in ur living room, and when 69j 'bow comes on the flop u think ur nostradomus. However u will understand how dumb u are when u realize that ur opponent's JJ did have a greater chance of making a set than ur 69 did of making 2 pair.
