it doesn't really make a difference whether the cards are in someone else's hand or not. what is the difference between some of the outs being in someone else's hand and some of the outs being at the bottom of the deck? either way, you are not going to hit those outs, and you should think of them in the same way. you'd only take into account what other people are holding if you actually KNOW what they have for a fact.

in other words, saying "maybe somebody else is holding some of my diamonds" is no different than saying "maybe some of my diamonds are at the bottom of the deck." so you just count them both.
