Why o Why?!?!?!?!

Huh?? 28 cards? He has 15 cards that make his hand out of 46 unseen cards (a 2.07:1 dog). The only cards he can count as not being left in the deck are the 2 in his hand and the 4 he can see on the board. Your calcultion makes the erroneous assumption that none of the cards he needs were dealt to other players in the hand. Where an unseen card is (dealt to another player or left in the deck) is irrelevant to your odds calculation. An unseen card is an unseen card is an unseen card.

I hope that's not how you normally calculate your outs.

Yes that is based on the assumption that none of his cards were dealt. And that is best case scenario. If you calculate 15 out of 46 unseen cards, of course that percentage will fall drastically. Some where around the area of 35%. Which would make him a 2 to 1 underdog going to the river. But I guess his feeling was that 1 out of 3 times he is going to make his hand.

Whatever.......It's over. And I need to get my groove back on.

Don't take this wong, but you claim to play professionally, right? I would think you would know how to correctly calculate pot odds... This is the first time I've ever seen anyone talk refer to 28 cards left or even suggest that the unknown cards dealt to other people should somehow be discounted. If you guys were palying cards face up, sure, but in the real world...
