Heres something ive been wondering about on pot odds. Lets say you've hit top pair and you know the person is on a flush draw to beat you. If you can't afford not to give them the right odds to call (or they only have a few chips left) is it better not to bet anything or should you stick your chips in anyway.
I know its quite hypothetical because if you only have that little back you should stick them all in preflop and you can never know for sure just what outs they have but humour me!
quick example in case anyones unsure: Pot is 300 your heads up you have top pair and opponent has flush draw, its a simple 9 outs situation. and you only have 50 chips. If you bet them hes getting great odds to call because its 50 chips to see both cards because you'll be all in so should you not?

At this point, you have so few chips, your opponent will call with ANYTHING. So yes, put them in, because are you going to fold and leave yourself with 50 chips if a flush card comes on the turn or river? Of course not.

Always make your opponent pay for his draw cards. Bet it.

You have odds. As other people have said, make him/her pay for his cards.
