Knowing your
equity is more useful than knowing your "outs", because of redraws.
e.g. In another spot, you could flop a set, and villain turns a flush, but you river a boat. He has 9 outs to make the flush, but then you have a redraw of 10 outs to a boat or quads. Equilab works out your winning chance from the point that you get all in, so the number of
immediate outs isn't very useful. (The hand doesn't end on the turn).
In the example in the thread, if villain has KQo with a diamond, he has to go runner-runner to beat a flopped set. There is no turn card that gives him the best hand, but he can pick up a straight draw or flush draw (and has to avoid the board pairing if he makes a flush). e.g. the board could bring a 9 and a jack, or a jack and an ace, or two more diamonds that don't pair the board. Each runner-runner possibility is only worth about 1%, but working out the probabilities of each of them leads to the equity. Equilab does this more accurately than using your fingers and toes.
