lol what???

count your outs. now multiply it by 2 for every street left soooo....

on flop you have 9 outs to improve. 9*2*2 ~ 36%
on turn you still have 9 outs. 9*2 ~ 18%

I was told that by someone a long time ago and I had no reason not to believe them. Clearly this was a mistake. I know the rule of 2 and 4, thanks =P

What are you doing at 5NL?

i cashed out a few hundred for bills, bought a 22" widescreen (should get here anyday argh!!) and left myself with $20 to grind back up. so far ok except for today

going to play some loldonkament to win my way back up... if not then back to the grind

playing some sngs and tournies while i'm reading

the bs continues. other than this random bs, i'm dominating

It's basically a coinflip if, say, you have Ace high flush draw to their overpair. Say, AsQs v. KhKc on 8s6s2h board. You have your nine outs to draw to the flush and also 3 aces for a better pair. 12 outs=~48%, approximately a coinflip.
If he has JhJc, you now have 15 outs, as your queens will be good, too, giving you ~60% for slight favorite.

I'm sure you know all this, but I'm guessing this is what was meant by the person who told you that a long time ago.

Edit: Okay, was just using 2 and 4 times rules. According to pokerstove, its 45% against kings, and 54% against jacks. Still pretty close to flipping.

Maybe I should bet more on the flop, eh BlueGrassPlayer?
