Maximum number of outs in holdem

[Snow]

I was making this little chart of the odds/percent corresponding to the number of outs you have from the flop and turn.
The finished chart gave me the odds for 1 .. 30 outs but then i realized that there is probably a upper limit to how many outs you possibly can have to improve a hand. Does anyone know?

Cheers!

Off the top of my head, the best I could come up with was 25 outs:

Opponent - 2s 2d

You - Ks Qs

Board - Ts Js 8c 8h

Outs - 3 9's (non-spade), 3 T's, 3 J's, 3 Q's, 3 K's, 3 A's (non-spade), 7 spades = 25 outs

...how many outs you possibly can have to improve a hand

If by "improve a hand" you include outs to a chop, then you can have every card in the deck.

Say you have A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and your opponent has A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

How many outs do you have if the board is A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]?

...it's rhyming night on the forum. I am green with envy for your \'-free Tunnel. At one point, I assumed that yours was just a greater title to which I could aspire. Now it appears that there is an alternate explanation. I will get to the bottom of this.

Tell you what. I assume your name will be in red soon enough, correct? I'll trade you my \'-free status for your redness. This will be a small price to pay as there are already 4-5 people with red names, but only true 'Carpal Tunnel'. Deal? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

speaking of...
is there a list anywhere on this damn site that has the number of posts you need to move to the next status? (if that's what you call it)

Nice. Nobody thought of this when the question was posed two years ago:

(I believe there's also an r.g.p thread on this point from late 2001 or early 2002.)

By the way, I'm also curious about how Homer eliminated the backslash-apostrophe from his designation.
