You don’t need a computer-like brain or a degree in maths to calculate the odds at poker. There aren’t too many hands to worry about. No limit hold em poker is played with a standard 52 card deck. 13 cards in each of the 4 suits. 13 x 4 = 52. You can use this to work out the odds for ANY outcome you like but you wil only need to worry about the the cards you know and the cards you don’t know.
Heres an example:
You hold TJs and the board is Q 9 2. Any 8 or K will make you a straight. What are the odds of the next card making you a straight?
You need a K or 8. There are four 8’s in a deck of cards and four K’s. So you have 8 ways to make a straight. These are also known as your “outs”.
You’ve seen five cards (which are your two hole cards, plus the three community cards) so that leaves 47 unknown cards left in the deck. (52 – 5 = 47).
The odds of you making a straight on the next card are [number of outs] divided by [unknown cards] or 8 / 47, which is 17%
If you don’t make your straight by the turn, the odds of you hitting it on the river are 8 / 46, or 17.4%
