Default Re: How is this calculated?

Here is a useful way in determining pocket 8's chances of winning .

There are 4 jacks , 3 sixes , 3 nines and four 4's which are considered outs . Now if we use the 4X rule , where x is the number of outs for your opponents , then your probability of winning is ~ 100-(4+3+3+4)*4 = 44 .

That's how he got 44 .

hmmm....didnt u leave out all the hearts? and the fact that if the board pairs at any point 88 wins so that cuts into "out" equity?

with one card left you could sum up the other 3 players outs and thus equity and minus that from 1 to get 88's chances of winning, or count the cards that arent winners for those 3 ie give 88 the pot and do it that way. With two cards to come where one can boat up and kill any redraws its a bit more complicated I believe?

OP just use poker stove
