Free Poker Odds Calculator — Texas Hold'em Equity & Pot Odds
What Is a Poker Odds Calculator?
A poker odds calculator works out your equity — the share of the pot you can expect to win on average — for any Texas Hold'em situation. Pick your two hole cards, add any community cards, and the calculator above deals 25,000 random runouts to show your win, tie, and equity percentages against up to five opponents. It also tells you whether calling a bet is profitable, by comparing your equity with the pot odds you're being offered.
How Do You Use This Odds Calculator?
- Pick your hand. Click the two "Your hand" slots, then choose your cards from the deck grid.
- Add the board and opponents (optional). Fill in flop, turn, or river cards as they arrive, and set how many opponents you're facing — assign them exact cards if you know or suspect them.
- Read your equity. The win/tie/equity percentages update automatically. Enter the pot size and the bet you're facing under "Should you call?" for an instant profitable-or-not verdict.
Which Preflop Matchups Should You Know by Heart?
Some numbers come up so often that you shouldn't need a calculator for them. These are the classic Texas Hold'em preflop matchups (approximate equities):
| Matchup | Favorite | Approximate equity |
|---|---|---|
| Pocket aces vs. pocket kings (AA vs. KK) | AA | 82% / 18% |
| Pocket aces vs. ace-king suited (AA vs. AKs) | AA | 87% / 13% |
| Pocket kings vs. ace-king offsuit (KK vs. AKo) | KK | 70% / 30% |
| Pocket queens vs. ace-king suited (QQ vs. AKs) | 54% / 46% | |
| Pocket eights vs. ace-king offsuit (88 vs. AKo) — the classic "coin flip" | 88 | 55% / 45% |
| Ace-king vs. ace-queen (AKo vs. AQo) — domination | AK | 73% / 27% |
| Pocket aces vs. one random hand | AA | 85% / 15% |

What Are Your Drawing Odds After the Flop?
Count your outs — the unseen cards that complete your draw — then use the rule of 4 and 2: multiply your outs by 4 for your chance of hitting by the river with two cards to come, or by 2 with one card to come. The exact numbers:
| Draw | Outs | Odds by the river (from flop) | Next card only |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flush draw | 9 | 35.0% | 19.1% |
| Open-ended straight draw | 8 | 31.5% | 17.0% |
| Flush draw + open-ended straight draw | 15 | 54.1% | 31.9% |
| Two overcards | 6 | 24.1% | 12.8% |
| Gutshot straight draw | 4 | 16.5% | 8.5% |
Every common draw — with the shortcut math — is in our poker odds and outs cheat sheet.
How Do Pot Odds Work?
Pot odds compare the price of a call with what's already in the pot. Your break-even equity is call ÷ (pot + call). Example: the pot is $100 and you face a $25 bet — you need 25 ÷ 125 = 20% equity to call profitably. A flush draw on the flop (35%) is an easy call at that price; a gutshot (16.5%) is a fold. The calculator's "Should you call?" panel runs this comparison for you automatically. For the complete method — including implied odds and bet sizing — read our guide to outs, pot odds and equity.
Poker Odds Calculator FAQ
How accurate is this poker odds calculator?
It simulates 25,000 random deals per calculation with a full 7-card hand evaluator, which keeps results within about ±0.5 percentage points of the exact figure. When every card is known (a complete board and all hole cards), the result is exact.
What are the odds of flopping a set with a pocket pair?
About 11.8%, or roughly 1 in 8.5. That's why the standard advice is to "set-mine" only when the potential payoff is large relative to the price of seeing the flop.
What are the odds of hitting a flush draw?
With a flush draw on the flop you have 9 outs: about a 35% chance of completing the flush by the river, or 19% on the very next card.
What is the best starting hand in Texas Hold'em?
Pocket aces (AA). Against a single random hand, aces win about 85% of the time — you can verify it in the calculator above by giving yourself AA and leaving your opponent on a random hand.
What is equity in poker?
Equity is your rightful share of the pot based on your current chance of winning. If the pot is $200 and you have 30% equity, your share is worth $60 on average. Comparing equity with the price of a call is the basis of every profitable poker decision.
Are poker odds calculators allowed?
For studying hands away from the table — absolutely, that's what they're for. Most online poker rooms prohibit real-time assistance software while you're actually playing, so use it for review and training rather than live play.
