Introduction
This Poker Hand Calculator shows your odds of winning a hand of Texas Hold'em. Pick your two hole cards, add your opponents' cards, and set the flop, turn, or river. The calculator then tells you how often you win, tie, or lose.
You can add up to 9 opponents. If you don't know an opponent's cards, leave the slots empty and the tool will treat that hand as random. When all hole cards are known and only one or two board cards are left, the calculator checks every possible run-out for an exact answer. In other cases it runs thousands of fast simulations to get a close estimate.
You also get more than just a win percentage. The tool names your best five-card hand, labels the matchup type (like a coin flip or a dominated hand), and shows the chance of making each hand type, such as a flush or a full house. The outs panel marks which remaining cards help you and which help your opponents. A step-by-step section shows the math behind the result, so you can see how each number was found.
How to use our Poker Hand Calculator
Pick your two hole cards, add your opponents' cards, and fill in any board cards you can see. The calculator shows your win, tie, and loss odds, your pot equity, your best hand right now, and which cards left in the deck help or hurt you.
Your Hand: Click one of the two card slots under "Your Hand," then click a card in the Card Picker below. Do this twice so both hole cards are set.
Opponent Cards: Click an opponent's card slot and pick their two cards the same way. Leave the slots empty if you do not know their hand, and the tool will treat it as a random hand.
Add Opponent: Click "Add Opponent" to put more players in the hand. You can run up to 9 opponents, for 10 players in total. Use the red X to remove one.
Flop: Click each of the three flop slots and pick the cards that came out. Leave them empty to see pre-flop odds.
Turn: The turn slot unlocks once all three flop cards are in. Click it and pick the fourth board card.
River: The river slot unlocks after the turn is set. Click it and pick the fifth and last board card.
Card Picker: Cards you already used show a line through them. Click a used card to send it back to the deck and free up that slot.
Calculate: Results update on their own as you pick cards, but you can click "Calculate" any time to run the numbers again.
Reset / Clear All: Click this to wipe every card and start a new hand from scratch.
Poker Odds and Hand Equity Explained
In Texas Hold'em poker, each player gets two hidden cards, called hole cards. Five shared cards, called community cards, go face up in the middle of the table. The community cards come out in three steps: the flop (3 cards), the turn (1 card), and the river (1 card). Every player makes their best five-card hand using any mix of their two cards and the five shared cards. The best hand wins the pot.
Poker Hand Rankings (Best to Worst)
- Royal Flush – A, K, Q, J, 10, all the same suit.
- Straight Flush – Five cards in a row, all the same suit.
- Four of a Kind – Four cards of the same rank.
- Full House – Three of a kind plus a pair.
- Flush – Five cards of the same suit.
- Straight – Five cards in a row, mixed suits.
- Three of a Kind – Three cards of the same rank.
- Two Pair – Two different pairs.
- One Pair – Two cards of the same rank.
- High Card – No pair; the highest card plays.
What Equity Means
Equity is your share of the pot based on how often you win. If you win 60% of the time, you have 60% equity. Ties count too. When two players split a pot, each one gets half a win, so ties add a partial share to your equity. Equity helps you decide if a call is worth it: if your equity is higher than the price you pay, calling makes money over time.
What Outs Are
An out is a card still in the deck that turns your losing hand into a winning one. If you have four cards to a flush after the flop, there are nine cards of that suit left, so you have nine outs. A quick trick called the Rule of 4 and 2 helps: multiply your outs by 4 with two cards to come, or by 2 with one card to come. That gives a close guess at your chance to hit.
Common Poker Matchups
- Coin flip – A pocket pair against two higher cards. Close to 55/45 before the flop.
- Pair over pair – Bigger pocket pair against a smaller one. About 80/20.
- Dominated hand – Both hands share a card, but one has a better kicker. The weaker side wins about 25% of the time.
- Live cards – No shared ranks and no clear leader. Equities stay close.
How the Odds Are Found
There are two ways to get poker odds. Exact enumeration checks every single card that could still come and counts the results, using the same counting rules you would apply in a Combination Calculator. This gives a perfect answer, but it only works when few cards are left to deal. Monte Carlo simulation deals thousands of random run-outs and counts how often each player wins. It is not perfect, but with enough hands the numbers land very close to the truth. Both methods are far faster and more reliable than guessing at the table.
