Re: SSH question re: overcards & counting outs

Now I think that the combination of the 2 backdoor straights can be considered as a full .5 outs, upping the total from 4.5 outs from that hand to 5 outs.

i agree....as if that means very much!! lol
the wheel isn't worth a heck of a lot...but the broadway straight has to be worth something.
i think .2 plus .3 is reasonable. i might even go as far as .3 plus .4....but that would be really nit-picky sillyness when we are considering whether to bet/call/fold here based on the number of outs. whether it's 4.5 or 5 or even 5.5 your decision is likely to be the same....but i suppose there are situations where you could be swayed to play slightly differently for 5.5 outs rather then 4.5 outs.
obviously, if you get one of the spades you are reasonably content with your flush-draw possibilties as well (even if you don't hit it, you'll have increased outs on the turn).
