Poker odds are an extremely important part of any poker game. If you want to become a serious poker player, you’re going to need to learn the probability of getting a certain hand, among other things. Otherwise, it’s like you’re fumbling around in the dark and guessing about what to do in a given hand. You need to know the odds that you’ll finish that flush on the flop or complete that straight on the turn. If you are just getting started at poker and don’t yet have the time to learn to calculate these things for yourself, the below chart may come in handy. Eventually, however, you may want to learn how to calculate poker odds on your own, and you can do this in our Poker Odds Calculator section. On this site, we will concentrate on the odds of Texas Hold’Em, the most popular variation of poker currently being played.
