On page 18 in the hand where you hold 8c6c on a Qh7c5d flop you say that you are 5-to-1 against hitting your straight on the next card.

When determining outs on the flop why did you only calculate your chance with only one card to come? Since there are two cards to come wouldn't you use the 4 times rule?

future betting means it is unlikely you will see the turn and river for the price you are getting given now.

actually i was going to bring this up - on one page in the book it talks about using the 4x rule in this sort of situation and I couldn't work out why - presumably the PNL advice is to not assume you'll get a free river card?
