equity/outs
I've seen two different ways to calculate equity after the flop. Straight draw for e.g.
1. 47 unseen cards (52-5), 8 outs. 47/8 = roughly 6:1.
2. 47 unseen cards, of those 47, 8 will make the straight and 39 will not. 8/39 = roughly 5:1.
I've seen this a lot and it is confusing. Many people say a flush draw is 4:1 47 unseen cards - 9 outs. 9 cards will make the flush 38 will not. 38/9 is roughly 4:1. But then some say 5:1 with the reasoning above like in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7KVDhAamUE).
Which is correct?
