WoW, I've been working on this almost all day now, just because it got me going and I wanted to know how many different ways that you could end up with 26 outs, and I believe, I was right, it is [U][I]168[/I][/U] different ways of ending up with 26 outs with suited connectors...such as (K,Q)(Q,J)(J,10)(10,9)(9,8)or(8,7)(below or above these connectors wont work, such as (A,K), or (5,6)).  BUT..., I didn't take into account "gappers, as you discussed, and WOW, is all I can say.  That changes the total A LOT!
 
And the example you give using Js,8s, also is a good example, however, there can be a total of [U][I][B]80[/B][/I][/U] different ways of getting 26 outs with Js8s!!
 
I have figured out that a suited (5,8), will give you [B][I][U]8[/U][/I][/B] different ways of getting 26 outs, and (6,9), will give you [B][I][U]24.[/U][/I][/B]  With (7,10), you can get 26 out's [U][I][B]48[/B][/I][/U] different ways, and (9,Q), equals [B][I][U]120[/U][/I][/B], "26 outers", and you end up with the most ways of getting 26 outs with a suited (K,10)...[U][I][B]168[/B][/I][/U] ways!  If you add all those up, with suited gappers you could expect to have 26 outs, [U][I][B]448 different ways[/B][/I][/U].  
 
If you add that to the 168 ways of getting 26 outs with suited connectors, you end up with  [U][I][B][SIZE=4]616[/SIZE][/B][/I][/U]  different ways of ending up with "26 outs on the river"!
 
(I think that would be a good title to my book[SIZE=5]....[/SIZE]
[U][B][I][SIZE=5][/SIZE][/I][/B][/U] 
[U][B][I][SIZE=5]"26 outs"[/SIZE][/I][/B][/U]               
 
(If I can't get rich playing, I'll have to write a BOOK!)     LOL   
TY JMcCabe, (I'll put you in it for some credit...LOL)
