Check it out. Having an open ended straight flush draw gives you 9 outs for the flush, and then 6 cards for the straight (as 2 of the 9 flush cards will make your straight flush). So you have 15 outs total (you will make at least a straight 54% of the time with 2 cards to come, and about 32% with one card to come). As for trying to figure out how many outs are in other peoples hand, you can only try to estimate that by using a basic distribution of starting hands table, and calculate approx how often your outs could be dealt out to other hands ( for example, in a short handed 6 way table, and dealing strictly with a flush draw, you will have the following facts: preflop - 2 seen cards, 10 unseen, on the flop - 3 more seen, giving us 37 unseen still to come. Figuring you have 13 cards of your suit, and four accounted for between your hand and the board, you have 9 unaccounted of your suit. With a ratio of 10 unseen in your opponents hand, and 37 unseen still to come, you can estimate approx percentages of where your desired outs may be. Keep in mind though, these percentages will not be significant often enough to necessitate you changing your overall strategy in playing the hand). Hope this helps! Peace
