When working with odds and probabilities, you will be required to know
at least some elementary algebra. Now, while I might have sympathy for
those who are bad at math and don't like to do it - if you're playing
poker and have a grudge against math, then this game is not for you. If
you simply want to memorize your odds for each type of hand, so be it,
but the person who can calculate poker odds on the fly will be a far
better player in the long run.
Hand Odds and Poker Odds
Hand odds are the chances of you making a hand in texas hold'em poker.
For example, if you hold two hearts and there are two hearts on the
flop, your hand odds for making a flush are about 2 to 1. This means
that for approximately every 3 times you play this hand, you will hit
your flush one of those times. If your hand odds are 3 to 1, then you
would hit your hand 1 out of every 4 times.
To calculate your hand odds, you first need to know how many outs your
hand has. Outs are defined as a card in the deck that help you make your
hand. So if you hold AK of spades and have two spades on the flop, that
leaves 9 more spades in the deck, since there are 13 cards of each suit.
This means you have 9 outs to complete your flush - but not necessarily
the best hand! Usually you want your outs to count toward a nut draw,
but this is not always possible.
The quick amongst you might be wondering "But what if someone else is
holding a spade, doesn't that decrease my outs?". The answer is yes and
no. If you know for sure that someone else is holding a spade, then you
will have to count that against your total odds. However, in most
situations when you do not know what your opponents hold, you can only
do calculations with the knowledge that is available to you. That
knowledge is your pocket cards and the cards on the table. So, in
essence, you are doing the calculations as if you were the only person
at the table, which in case, there are 9 spades left in the deck.
