Default Re: Simple Odds Question..

[ QUOTE ]
Now card player says that hand 1 is a 68.9% to 31.1% favorite.

I was always told that for an easy odds estimate on the flop, you take each out and add 4% for each one.
...
(9+3+3+3+3) x 4 = 84%
...
what the hell am I doing wrong?

The main problem is that you are using that estimate out of the context where it is reasonably accurate. It works much better in more common situations where you have 1-10 outs, not 21.
