Re: Odds question...
Yes I did.

OK...he MIGHT have one of your diamonds. He MIGHT have two of your diamonds. He MIGHT have none of your diamonds. You have no idea what he has, so you just have to count the cards your opponent has with what is left in the deck.

Let me try it another way.
Let's say you have 9 outs with 46 cards to come. It's a 10-handed game. So on average, the other 9 people at your table will have 3.5 diamonds in their hand. So there are on average 5.5 diamonds left, but now you only have 28 cards left to come. 5.5/28 = 9/46. Is that easier?
