David Sklansky works through the "drawing to a 7" case for 237KA in the March 2007 Two Plus Two Internet Magazine [1] and gives the same number, 26.2%. He also says:

Again in real life you are more than a 3-to-1 shot because this calculation assumes you will always discard any eight or nine you catch. It also assumes that you will not give up after catching four bad cards. Thus the real life answer is more like 5-to-1.
