JCT: Online calculators combine flush, straight and pair
draws in 7-9 steps to find cut points for "Calling Overlays,
Folding Underlays." The Turmel2Step Holdem Outs-Odds in-head
calculator gets really close in just 2 steps (cut it out):

Step 1) Count pot bets for outs needed to chase:
Odds: 45 22 14 10 8 7 6 5 4 3+ 3+ 3 2+ 2+ 2 offered by pot
Outs: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 needed to call

Step 2) Count outs to "Call Overlays, Fold Underlays."
Draw: 4FL 4S2 4S1 TRS PRK PR2 OC1 PRP 3FL 3ST
Turn: 9-1 8 4 10 5 4 3 2 0 0 outs on Turn
Flop: 9-1 8 4 8 5 4 3 2 2-0 1 outs on Flop

Boss 1-card 0-overgap 4-flush is 99(999) outs vs 1-5 oppts.
1-overgap 88(776); 2-overgaps 87(655); 3-overgaps 76(544);
4&5-overgaps and 4&5-undergaps 75(432);
3&2-undergaps 64(321); 1&0-undergaps 53(211).
Non-boss 1-card 3-flush is 1 out except for the bottom five
ranks against 3 or more opponents which are worth 0 outs.
Demote all draws by 1 rank if no Ace is on board.

Exercise draws are offered in the following format:
XsYc[AsBhCcDd]n AB11 f+s+p=o\o
"XsYc" is your hand "[AsBhCcDd]" is the board on the Turn
s=spades, h=hearts, c=clubs, d=diamonds
"n" is the number of opponents. "AB11" is hand IDentifier
"f+s+p=o\o" mean flush + straight + pair = outs\odds

JCT: I've decided to pre-publish the exercises at the
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/turmel2step group. From
past experience, we know that silly addition or
transposition errors, or typo creep into these kind of
exercises so not only does pre-publishing to the feedback
group giving those 500 subscribers a short head start on the
rest of the world but it gives my advanced students the
chance to catch any errors before I publish the exercises to
the world.
