Ok I'm with Way to tight on this one. I dont see how the amount of people in a hand effects your outs unless you know he has your card.
If there are 44 unseen cards then there are 44 unseen cards.

i hope im right otherwise ive been miss calculating for ages

Yes you should always calculate pot odds including other players "dead cards" but they are never the actual odds,

2. After the turn what is the probability of improving your hand with only two outs? 
 (a) 2.2%
 (b) 8.4%
 (c) 6.5%
 (d) 4.3%

This was what the question said. Lets take 2 examples.

(a) You are playing heads up, you hold KK and the board reads Q-2-4-7 rainbow you go all in on the turn and your opponent calls turning over AA. What is the probability of you improving your hand with only 2 outs?

(b) You are playing 6 handed, you hold KK and the board reads Q-2-4-7 rainbow you go all in on the turn and your 5 opponents all call turning over AA, QQ, 10-10, 6-6 and 3-3. What is the probability of you improving your hand with only 2 outs?

Are the answers to (a) and (b) the same?

No, these are different questions : try this :

you are making the decision and all the hole-cards except your own are secret... now try :

a) You have 6 opponents
b) You have 1 opponent
c) you have 0 opponents but are going to deal it out anyhow.

Your questions have different answers because they are different questions.

coming next week

If I have three pies and you have four pies and there are twelve pies in total how many does Kev have?


a) less than you
b) the same as you
c) more than you
d) move the shortstack


More suitable i think than pedantic debates....

This is the point i'm trying to make squire, they are different questions but they are both possibilities when you read the question given in the quiz. Without knowing all of the information you automatically assume it.

I wasnt trying to have a go at TightEnd, i know the quiz is just a bit of fun and we all appreciate the tireless efforts he and the other mods put into making this site as enjoyable and as friendly as it is  - hence why i keep highlighting the words "awkward primate".

Yeah, fair enough, I just assumed that it was a poker decision question.

I have heard the line of thinking you were suggested quite seriously by people who were considering drawing at a flush - along the lines of :

"There are lots of people in, so I've got a better chance of hitting since it's 9 out of only 36 now.. "
or (and my personal favourite)
"As there are more players in, they are more likely to be holding some of my outs, so I'd better fold"

They mostly got the hang of it after a brief (sometimes) discussion. I was confused by your burn card remark - but I see that has a smiley on it so maybe (hopefully) that bit was a joke.

Either way, enjoy the bananas.
