I was playing a live tourney today, and I decided to call with 5d-7d, and the flop comes Qd-Jd-5c. The guy to my right goes all in, and I call. He has K-9o, and that gives him 10 outs against my pair of fives. I checked this out on poker stove, and I have %72.5 equity in this hand. Obviously this was a good call even if I had no idea what he had. However, he still has about a %40 chance to outdraw me on the turn or the river. It wasn't that horrible a push when you think about it, yet the equity is almost 3-1 against him.
When you find yourself in a similar situation where you have 10 outs it doesn't seem so bad, but how do you know that your hand equity is awful without any software to back you up?
