Weird observation.
I've been learning some of the math behind poker, and came across something wierd.

The KQ hand has exactly six outs to become the best hand. No more, no less. That's 1-6.66... or a 13.04% chance to improve.
When using two different odds calculators, they both give the chance to win for the KQ hand at 13.64%, 1-6.33 odds.
Where does the extra 1/3 an out come from, or did I do my math wrong somewhere? I know, it's minutae, but I'm just curious.
