so i was reading an article on different methoids of figuring out pot odds and blah blah blah.... later on that day, in card player magazine, i read a reader-submitted question which was something like..
"when counting your odds, do you subtract the dealers burn card from the total number of cards left in the deck?"
obviously this poor soul was under the impression you subtract the unseen cards from the remainder.....
this got me thinking.... are your odds of hitting the flush the same after you flop a 4 card flush when there were 8 people on the table who were dealt cards, vs only 4 people?
instead of it being 47/52 .... shouldn't we add the % of that suit being dealt for the number of cards that have been removed from the deck?
