Calculating Hold'em Poker Odds

Calculating poker odds quickly is one of the hardest thing to do when you are in the middle of a big hand, but it's also essential to making the right calls and correct lay downs. Being able to calculate your odds quickly can help you make those decisions much faster and easier. Playing the odds in the long run will net you a gain... why do you think casinos make so much money?

"Probability is a huge factor in texas hold 'em. Players use odds to determine their actions. The chances of finishing a flush or a straight, the probablity of getting an overcard, the percentage of times you're going to flop a set to match your pocket pair are all important factors in poker. Knowledge of these statistics is key to winning. In online games especially with very few (if any) tells, statistical knowledge becomes the main factor when choosing whether to bet, call, or fold."
