Default Re: Professional No-Limit Hold \'em Study Group Day 1

In the example on pp. 22-23, on the turn a player bets $1000 all-in into a $9 pot and is called by 7 players who are all also all-in. We are asked what do we do (last to act here). The explanation and calculations that follow are all based on 47 unseen cards. Shouldn't that be 46 (we know our 2 cards and the 4 board cards)? I know, I know. It doesn't change the decision, or the reasoning, but I'm trying to learn the math behind the answers.

So, should the sentence at the top of p.23 read "you expect to win 9 times out of 46 times, or 19.6%? And the calculation of our equity in the pot would be (0.196)($9,009)=$1,766?
