re irc, search for threads with 'irc' in the thread title.
counting
outs is pretty simple. Ask yourself the questions below, you'll get there fast. Basically draws fall into one of only a few patterns/types, learn how many
outs there are for each type and you
don't need to calculate them each time. Like, if you have two overcards and a
flush draw you
don't want to have to think about things like 'how many cards in each suit?', you want to think '9
outs to the
flush, ez game, wonder how good those 6
outs to the
overpair are?'
how many clubs are there in a deck of cards? if you have two clubs in your hand and there are two on the board, how many remain? How many
outs to hit a
standard flush draw?
how many nines are there in a deck of cards? how many fours?if you have 78s on A56rb, how many cards will make you hit your
straight? How many
outs to a
standard open ended straight draw?
ok, you are 3 way with AJcc on Jd7s3h, you know your opponents both have
KK. How many aces are there in a deck of cards? how many are still in the deck? how about jacks? How many
outs do you have vs these guys?
You
flop a
flush draw +
gutshot. How many ways to hit one of these hands? (clue, only count cards once!)
