    I folded the next few hands until i was in the sb.
    3 people limped in front of me and i had KQcc. I decided to complete and not raise because 2 of the limpers were in relatively early position, and i had already raised once from the blinds and thought this would receive more action than i wanted oop with a somewhat speculative hand. the bb checked and it was 5 way to the flop.

    flop Qh3d2d.
    I decided to check and see what developed. I didnt want to lead out and get placed in an awkward spot if i got raised, and didnt think i would get a lot of action on a bet.
    it checks over to the button, who bets 200. he had bet on two previous occassions when checked to, so i decided it was likely he had total air. i thought about raising here to take the pot down, but i figured nobody was that strong because everyone checked, so i flat call. the bb thinks for a while and seems to reluctantly call.

    turn is the worst card in the deck, Ad.
    I check, bb checks, button bets 450, and i decide to fold cause of huge reverse implied odds, and with a player left behind me. the bb tanked a little bit and finally folded. I now have about 4100 in chips.

    Implied odds refer to how much you can win in a hand. Reverse implied odds refer to how much you can lose in a hand.

    I always tought it meant the chips you will lose if you make your hand and it is second best. I don't get it in this instance.

    what about this?

    lets say you hold Ad7d and the flop is KdKsJd... wouldn't the implied odds be about how much you could lose if you hit your flush but lose big to a boat?
