I actually think reverse implied odds is a concept made up for people FAR over valuing their implied odds in the first place. The reason it seems a confusing concept is because you basically shouldn't assume good hand (non relative) -> shovel money in, especially on when our information changes.
The truth is your implied odds should account for you losing too. Hitting your flush doesn't mean you always win.
