Weird observation.
I've been learning some of the math behind poker, and came across something wierd.
A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] vs K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] board: 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] The KQ hand has exactly six outs to become the best hand. No more, no less. That's 1-6.66... or a 13.04% chance to improve. When using two different odds calculators, they both give the chance to win for the KQ hand at 13.64%, 1-6.33 odds. Where does the extra 1/3 an out come from, or did I do my math wrong somewhere? I know, it's minutae, but I'm just curious.

Re: Weird observation.
You're a little off in your calculations....
...indeed you have 6 outs.... but there are 44 (not 46) unknown cards left. your calculation... = 6/46 = 0.13043 correct calculation... = 6/44 = 0.13636
