Default Re: Close one - counting outs excercise :)

During the hand I forgot that I had 10s so counted only 17 outs (I assumed he had set and maybe one of my outs as JJxx may not play preflop so high card is probable).
I am slightly below 2-1 pot odds (I think its 1-1.8) and about 17-44 to hit which is 1-1.6 still its a call even with 17 outs.
During the hand I thought it closer. Now I see its easy call.
Btw I called and sucked out.

If you negate board-pairing spades from your outs you can account for two more cards (the JJ or TT in his hand), so there are 42 unknown cards, not 44. 18 is the right number of outs too, as you noticed later, the 6 is the only bad spade.
