Poker odds calculator

Pick your two cards, the board and the number of players. The calculator shows how often each hand wins, which cards help you and whether a call pays off. It is free, runs in your browser and works out the exact answer whenever every hand is known.

An example: ace-king of hearts against a pair of queens wins 46% of the time before the flop. If the flop brings the jack and the seven of hearts, the same hand wins 54% of the time, because 15 cards put it ahead.

You need 20%, you have 54%. Calling pays off in the long run.

The pot is everything in the middle, including your opponent's bet.

Your opponents' cards stay face down as long as you leave them open, and the calculator deals them at random. "Deal the flop" puts three random cards on the board, so you can watch the chances change card by card. Which hand beats which is in the poker hand rankings.

What the percentages mean

The big number in each row is how often that hand wins on its own. Sometimes two hands are exactly the same and the pot is split, the line next to the chip says how often. Wins plus your share of split pots are called equity: what your hand is worth on average, as a share of the pot.

81% is not 100%. Aces win 81 times out of 100 against kings before the flop, so the kings win 19 times. Try "Aces against kings" and press "Deal the flop" a few times, and you will see it happen.

The more players, the smaller your chance. Aces win about 85 times out of 100 against one random hand, 56 against four and 31 against nine. We estimated these numbers from at least a million random deals each with this calculator.

Outs: the cards that help you

An out is a card that turns your hand into the best one. With ace-king of hearts on a flop of jack of hearts, seven of hearts and two of clubs, nine hearts give you a flush, and three aces and three kings give you a higher pair than the queens: 15 outs.

If you enter your opponents' cards, the calculator counts exactly which cards put you ahead. Without them it shows the cards that improve your hand more than they improve the board, such as a heart for your flush draw. Whether that is enough depends on what the others hold.

The rule of 2 and 4

On the flop, multiply your outs by 4 to get your chance of hitting one by the river. On the turn, multiply them by 2 for the river alone. Nine outs for a flush draw make 36% on the flop and 18% on the turn. Worked out exactly, it is 35% and 20%.

With many outs the rule of 4 is too high. With 15 outs it says 60%, the exact value is 54%. The table below shows the exact values for 1 to 15 outs, with the rule of thumb in the column heads.

How often your outs hit

How often one of your outs comes when only your two cards and the board are known

Outs	For example	Flop to riverRule of thumb: outs × 4	River onlyRule of thumb: outs × 2
1		4%	2%
2	Pocket pair to three of a kind	8%	4%
3		12%	7%
4	Inside straight draw (gutshot)	16%	9%
5		20%	11%
6	Two overcards	24%	13%
7		28%	15%
8	Open-ended straight draw	31%	17%
9	Flush draw	35%	20%
10		38%	22%
11		42%	24%
12	Flush draw and gutshot	45%	26%
13		48%	28%
14		51%	30%
15	Flush draw and open-ended straight draw	54%	33%

The table counts 47 unseen cards on the flop and 46 on the turn, because you only know your own two cards and the board. If you know your opponents' cards, fewer cards are left, and the calculator above counts with exactly those.

Pot odds: is the call worth it?

Pot odds compare what you have to pay with what you can win. Say there are 40 chips in the pot, including your opponent's bet, and you have to call 10. After your call the pot holds 50, and 10 of them are yours. So you have to win at least 10 out of 50 times, 20%, for the call to pay off.

Under "Is the call worth it?" in the calculator, enter the pot and your call. It compares what you need with your equity and tells you in one sentence whether calling pays off in the long run. You can still lose a single hand, the math only works out over many. How the betting rounds go is explained in the Texas hold'em rules.

How the calculator works it out

When every player's cards are known, the calculator goes through every possible board: 990 combinations of turn and river after the flop, and 1,712,304 boards before the flop with two players. When some cards are unknown, it deals 50,000 random hands and counts the winners. The same cards always give the same estimate, accurate to about half a percentage point.

We checked the hand evaluation against all 133,784,560 possible seven-card hands. It finds exactly the published number of each hand, from 4,324 royal flushes to 23,294,460 hands with only a high card.

The calculator stores nothing. Your cards only end up in the link when you share it.
