Default Re: Just started reading SSH... need explanation

[ QUOTE ]
when they gave the example of QJ and the flop comes (10h 6c 3s)... they dont value the two overcards as full outs.. why is that, and how do you manage to figure out when something is more than half an out. I was just confused and was hoping for a simpler explanation for calculating outs.

Because any of your opponents could hold TTT 666 333 TT6 TT3 66T 663 33T 336 TT66 TT33 6633 3456. Still want to spike a Q or J? Discounting your outs keeps you from overvaluing a hand that might draw out and still be easily beat.
