continuing the betting doesn't stop preflop concept
Heads up limit or no-limit hold'em are the easiest games to see this concept in practice. The rest of the money on later streets gets put in at 1:1 ratio.
Aaron, you are in good company here with some of the best reviewed poker books. This is one the examples I often give about how people misuse math to analyze poker.
Razz is the game that most easily demonstrates the concept of making a -EV call that would be +EV if the hand stopped there, but then you will be forced to make +EV calls on later streets. If you call a raise with a bad one in three cards (other than heads-up as the bring in), you get into these situations where you are one card behind on subsequent streets, but the pot has been built up to the point that you have to keep calling.
