Hi, 4 and 2 rules apply only on 6 players or we can use to 9 players .... I'm playing in online mostly we have 8 or 9 player. So the rules are apply in the 9 player table.....
Yes it does. When you're calculating your outs you don't necessarily factor in the possibility of your outs dealt in other dead hands.
HU vs 1 player in a 9 man table. You have a flush draw and have 9 outs. You do the math based on the 9 outs despite the likelihood that 1 or more of these outs are in the possession of players who aren't involved in the hands.
