Default Re: Slotboom on SSHE

A good compromise would be to include a footnote giving the above explanation. I think it would be unwieldy to say in the text of the book that "this is a hand with 14 outs but it's only 12 outs because of x,y,and z, but it's still a robust hand etc etc."

You need the footnote just for the first instance in the book where you mention the theoretical number of outs rather than the adjusted number of outs.

BTW, I don't know about you guys but when I see this flop in real life, I do indeed think 14 outs. I don't think 12 outs. But I also have it in the back of mind that not all of my outs lead to wins. Same with say staying on with overcards. I always think I have 6 outs with Ak on a turn of T932 if I put the other guy on a pair although I also know that I ain't going to win 6 out of 44 times.
