I am trying to evaluate the "outs" when holding cards that may produce a straight on the flop. I will evaluate the other possibilities later (an Integration by Parts lol) but I wanted to verify that my thought process is correct at the start or if anyone can suggest an easier way I would be grateful. LetyouDown my hat is off to the person who did this by bit shifting.

Assume you hold a connector not bound on the low side or high side. Example: holding 4 5. There are 24 value combinations yielding a straight.

6 7 8 or 6 8 7 or 7 6 8 or 7 8 6 or 8 6 7 or 8 7 6 or
1 2 3 or 1 3 2 or 2 1 3 or 2 3 1 or 3 1 2 or 3 2 1 or
3 6 7 or 3 7 6 or 6 7 3 or 6 3 7 or 7 3 6 or 7 6 3 or
3 2 6 or 3 6 2 or 2 3 6 or 2 6 3 or 6 3 2 or 6 2 3

(24)<- Combinations * [(4 C 1)(4 C 1)(4 C 1)]<- suits
