how did you calculate these numbers?

[/ QUOTE ]

There are 47 unseen cards, and 9 of those are hearts.

The chance of his first card being a non heart is 38/47.
The chance of his second card being a non heart once his first card is a non heart is 37/46.

38/47*37/46=65% of the time he doesn't have a heart.

This is slightly off, because the fact that he raised preflop, and bet the flop, give us some extra information, but if you were to just pick a random hand given your cards and the board, that would be the number.
