- Your hand: Qh, As
- Villain: Ks, Ac
- Flop: Th, 2c, Kd
- What counts as an out: An out is a card that takes you from behind to in front. Cards that improve your hand but still lose to villain do not count — that gap is where most outs miscounts come from.
- True outs: 4
Slot 4: pot-odds
Correct action: Fold.
- Pot: 5 BB
- Bet: 10 BB
- To call: 10 BB
- Required equity: call / (pot + bet + call) = 10 / (5 + 10 + 10) = 10/25 = 40.0%
