Default Re: Number of players dealt in affecting flush draws?

Ah that's true!

But how is the math done exactly?
If we are dealt 2 hearts there are 11 more out of 50 cards. So 22% of the remaining cards are hearts. When dealt out to the remaining 5 players, on average 2.2 hearts will be dealt, right?

So pre-flop you will on average have 4.2 hearts. This leaves us with 6.8 outs out of 37 cards left on the flop flush draw. But to be equivalent of 9/47 you need to have closer to 7.1 outs.

I'm assuming this is not enough though. Do I have to count on how the odds change as a heart gets dealt to another player? Or is it ok to count them it as 22% of 10 cards?

Sorry if this is all really basic, just trying to figure it out hehe.
