Re: suited cards
[ QUOTE ]
The last guy said something wrong. If somebody showed you their hole cards and you saw that they had one of your suit, then the number of outs changes, as does the odds. Say with one card left you have a four flush, and the guy next to you folds and shows you his cards, he was holding the deuce of spades (spades is what you have the four flush in). Therefore you now know there is one less spade in the deck so you have 8 outs, but you have seen 2 more cards so your odds on the river are 8/44 which would be 4.5 : 1.

no, bruce said out of all your opponents, if only one had a flush card your chances would be greater. that is there would be a higher density of flush cards left in the deck. it would be 8/29 as opposed to 9/47 if you didn't see anyone's hand. so you only have 8 outs but they are out of 29 cards, so the chance of hitting an out increases.
