Ramblings on Draws

We can flop an absolute monster such as AhKdQhJd on JhTd2h, in which case we have 9 outs to the nut flush, plus an additional 11 outs to a straight and a good back door flush draw and a pair! Minimum 20 outs! TWICE! HUGE EQUITY!

We can also flop a plane old OESD with Ah7h6c2d on Js9s8c and could be drawing dead if we call and see a turn with no chance of a re draw. Here we have minimal equity and will not be looking to put money in this pot at all unless we get a free card a off suit 5 comes, then hope to take down the pot on the turn or avoid a bazillion river outs.. MINIMAL EQUITY!

In reality we will flop somewhere in between these two extremes. As PLO is a drawing game, it is important for us to be able to calculate our equity quickly and pretty accurately before deciding on the best line with our hand which will also be dependent on SPR.
