Texas Hold Em Odds and Outs

Ever wonder if that straight you're chasing after is the right move or not? Why not check the math to see if you're playing winning poker or losing poker.

Time to find out whether or not that flush you're chasing is worth it based on the cards you've been dealt as well as the cards on the board.

You should figure pot odds only for the incoming card. Pot odds must be redetermined on every incoming card. Never try to figure out pot odds for both turn and river percentages because your opponent will have the opportunity to make the hand more expensive for you to call the river on the turn. Your draw may be affordable to see a turn but not the river.

How likely am I to be dealt a pocket pair? How often will I make a pair? How about three of a kind? Four of a kind? Find out now.

Your implied odds in the hand are ‘how much money will my opponent continue you throw into the pot after they see the next cards.’ If you are going for an obvious flush, for example, and put your opponent on a large pair your implied odds will be lower based on the simple fact that your opponent will stop betting once the flush card pops up UNLESS you have played the hand in such a way that the flush card will not scare your opponent away from betting and or calling.
