Care to give any reasons with that? Or are you just spouting for no reason at all?
I dont know if you play holdem at all but multiplying the number of outs by 2 gives a very good estimate of the percentage chance you have of hitting on the next card.
If you have a draw with ALOT of outs, (i.e. 10 or more) then the 2x rule starts to overestimate but even then its only a couple of percent over and in a no limit game implied odds will almost always make up for that.
So to clarify.
you have an OESD for 8 outs on the flop.
you multiply your 8 outs by 2 for a 8*2 = 16% chance of hitting on the turn, and another 16% on the river.
This compares pretty favorably to the exact answer of 8/47 = 0.1702 = 17.02%
