Odds against, the shortcut error and a verdict for 12 bet sizes. You have a 30.43% chance to hit on the river with 14 outs on the turn. The sections below show the count behind that figure, the draws that match it and the bets it can call. - Chance to hit on the river: 30.43% (14 outs, one card to come) - Odds against: 2.29 : 1 - Rule of 2 estimate: 28% (-2.43 points from the exact chance) - Unseen cards: 46 ## The count behind 14 outs on the turn One hit in about 3.3 tries is what 30.43% means. It is neither a favorite nor a long shot, so the bet you face decides the answer. - Unseen cards: 46 - Your outs: 14 - Cards that miss: 32 - Chance on the river: 30.43% - Chance on the next card (the river): 30.43% - Odds against hitting: 2.29 : 1 - Estimate from the rule of 2: 28% - Error of the rule of 2: -2.43 points - Chance on the river = k / u, with u = 46 unseen cards - For 14 outs: 14 / 46 = 30.43% 32 of the 46 unseen cards miss.

Against the 25.00% that a half-pot call needs, the margin is +5.43 points. ## Questions ### How should I read the hit chance for 14 outs on the turn? With 14 outs on the turn you hit on the river 30.43% of the time, about 30 of every 100 hands, because 14 of the 46 unseen cards are outs. The odds against are 2.29 : 1. ### How accurate is the rule of 2 for 14 outs? The rule of 2 gives 28% for 14 outs against an exact 30.43%, an error of -2.43 points. The shortcut sits below the true chance, so the exact figure is better for you. ### Do 14 outs on the turn justify a call, and against which bets? At 30.43% on the river, you can call 6 of the 12 bet sizes. A half-pot bet needs 25.00%, a margin of +5.43 points, so against half the pot the verdict is Call. The largest bet you can call is 77.78% of the pot, or $77.78 on a $100 pot. ### How do I adjust a count of 14 for outs that help an opponent? Take them off the count first. With one shared out the chance on the river falls from 30.43% to 28.26%, and with 3 shared it falls to 23.91%, a loss of 6.52 points. The effective count is then 11 outs. ## How this is computed The chance to hit on the river from the turn is k / 46, where 46 is the number of unseen cards and k is your effective outs. For 14 outs that is 14 / 46 = 30.43%. The next card is the river, so both chances are the same. The rule of 2 figure is 2 x k, here 28%, and its error is that figure minus the exact chance in percentage points, here -2.43 points. Model notes: every unseen card among the 46 has the same chance of coming, no rival hand is removed, and each bet is matched by one call on a $100 pot, which is the whole amount a hit wins.
