Given that, the odds change quite a bit. Intead of 8 outs from 47 cards, it's actually 8 outs from around 39 cards. That's 20.5% (37.2% for either). Compare that to your official 17.0% (31.5% for either).
Let's change the game. You've got 9-10 suited. Intead of 5-6-K, it's 2-6-K, but the 2-6 is your suit. All other things are the same. So, we now have 9 outs in 39 cards. Your number is 19.1% (35.0%). My number is 23.1% (41.3%). If I've got a medium stack, that extra 4-6% means a lot.
The numbers are all well and good, but you can't depend on them. 6% is 1 of 16. That means, with reading the bets, you'll win an extra hand every hour. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't mind that.
