Re: Discounting Outs

With so much action on the flop, you can assume someone has a better flush draw.

I have to disagree with this. I think your flush draw is very live here and will be the nuts if it hits (of course I can say this w/ extra confidence since I know the results [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]). But just analyzing the situation:
You have 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Only 11 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] left in the deck. Chances of any player being dealt two [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is about 4.5%. And there are only 5 other players in the hand. The fact that they are in the hand does not signifcantly raise the chances that they are holding suited cards since people limp w/ a lot of different cards than suited.
Also, looking at it empirically, what percentage of times has your low ranked flush actually lost to a bigger flush. For me I would say it is less than 10%.
So, I think you made a good play by pushing.
