A zero-gapper straight is 1.5 outs, and what's this talk about there being an ace out there, that won't affect a straight [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

he's saying that an ace out there takes up one card you would need to make brodway (which doesn't matter). what does matter is that JQK is not worth 1.5 outs.

TJQ is because it can make 89TJQ, 9TJQK, and TJQKA.

JQK can only make 9TJQK and TJQKA.

the math isn't hard but i've never taken the time to do it.
