I have seen this in Harringtons book where he calls it the Solomons rule I think, and PZ state the same rule. Now I was never any good at maths, and this puzzles me so can some one tell me where my thinking is off please?
If I have 13 outs on the flop I calculate this to being (13:47)x100 = 27.6% to hit my hand. If I multiply this with 2 to see my equity on the river it will be, and instead of 47 ill use 46,5 which is the average amount of cards left after the flop and turn ((13:46.5)x100)x2 = 55.9%. Is this right to just multiply the turn % 27,6 with 2 to get the % or hitting my hand on the river if I dont have to put more money in the pot?
If I use the method where I count my out (13) and time it with 2 or 4 I get 26 or 52 which is less than 27,6 and 55,9%. The solomon rule says take the number of outs over 10 and subtract from the number giving me: (13x4)-3 = 49.
It would make more sence to me if we added 3 rather than subtract it which would give 52+3 = 55 so why is this subtraction of 3 in order to get the right % ?
So again, where do I go wrong?
I have a feeling that the answer will make my face go red and my mind go "ooooooh of course, I should never have asked" but I'll risk it
