In Response To: Outs (Chuck Bower)

If Dwan figures Barry for aces OR kings, then he himself has three fewer outs if kings. It takes 14 outs {nine spades, two queens, three kings} to make this a 50-50 prop: 1 - [(47 - 14)/47]^2 = 49.3%.

Your math is a tad off... 1 - [(47-14)/47]*[(46-14)/46)] = 51.1% After the turn, there are now 46 unknown cards in the deck.
