Poker Odds Vs Outs
In Texas Hold'em, poker odds are THE probability tool you need as a poker player. In fact, you should always be thinking about poker odds - yours and your opponents' - when making decisions. In short, poker odds is the probability of you winning that hand, or the price it offers (pot odds). Pot odds percentage = 26/ (26+67.5) = 27.8% Here is a summary of the numbers of outs and the pot odds associated for number of outs: Why Are Pot Odds Useful? It first lets us determine our risk to reward ratio.
Below you will see our pot odds and outs chart, which shows the percentage of winning a hand by the turn/river or river only, depending on how many outs you have. You can right click and save the chart to your computer.
If you don’t like memorizing charts then there are some shortcuts that can be used. For example, if you have 1 to 9 outs and the turn and river cards are yet to be seen then you can multiply your outs times 4 to come within 1 percentage point of the true chances of hitting your card. This covers the inside straight draw(4 outs), 2 overs(6 outs), the open ended straight draw(8 outs) and the flush draw(9 outs).
For example, 2 overs is 6 outs multiplied by 4 is 24% which is your approximate chance of getting at least one of your overs.
