Re: WOHEP: Backdoor flush outs estimates
[ QUOTE ]
The first one is a much better hand to hit the flush on. A jack high flush is good when there are only three on the board, but when there are four on the board, any higher spade, by itself beats you. I don't know if i would count more outs or not, but i would much prefer the first hand to hit than the second.

Indeed, the first is better to have because it is less likely that someone else will also have 2 spades, BUT just speaking about odds, it does not matter a bit if you have 2 in your hand and one on the board, or 1 in the hole and 2 on the board, or even none in your hand and 3 on the board (not a backdoor draw though [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])! The odds of YOU getting a flush are the same in all of these cases. The odds of you having a WINNING hand will greatly vary though, with the first case being the best, then the second, and then the 3rd.
