Introduction

This Texas Holdem odds calculator helps you find out how likely each player is to win a hand of poker. Just click a card slot, pick your cards from the deck, and hit Calculate Odds. The tool does all the hard math for you in seconds.

You can add up to 10 players, deal community cards on the flop, turn, and river, and even mark dead cards that are out of play. The calculator uses exact math when possible and runs simulations when there are too many card combinations to count. It shows each player's win percentage, tie percentage, and total equity so you can see who has the best chance at any point in the hand.

A built-in chart tracks how each player's equity changes street by street, and a step-by-step breakdown explains how the results were found. Whether you are learning poker hand rankings or studying odds before your next game, this free poker equity calculator gives you the numbers you need to make smarter decisions at the table.

How to Use Our Texas Holdem Odds Calculator

Enter each player's two hole cards and any known community cards to see win odds, tie odds, and equity for every player at the table.

Set player cards: Click an empty card slot next to a player name. Then click a card from the deck below to place it in that slot. Each player needs two cards to run the calculation.

Add or remove players: Click the "Add Player" button to add a new player. You can have up to 10 players. Click the X button on a player card to remove them. You must keep at least two players.

Set community board cards: Click an empty slot under Flop, Turn, or River. Then pick a card from the deck. You can fill in none, some, or all five board cards.

Set dead cards: Click an empty slot in the Dead Cards section and pick a card from the deck. Use this for any cards you know are out of play, like burned or mucked cards.

Remove a card: Click any filled card slot to clear it and send that card back to the deck.

Calculate odds: Click the "Calculate Odds" button to run the math. The tool shows each player's win chance, tie chance, and total equity as a percentage.

Read the results: Each player's box shows a win rate, tie rate, equity bar, and the name of their current best hand. Scroll down to see the street-by-street equity chart and a full step-by-step breakdown of how the odds were calculated.

Texas Hold'em Poker Odds Calculator

Texas Hold'em is the most popular form of poker in the world. Each player gets two private cards called hole cards. Then, up to five shared cards are placed face-up on the table. These shared cards are called community cards. Every player uses their two hole cards plus the community cards to make the best five-card poker hand they can.

The community cards come out in three rounds. The first three cards are called the flop. The fourth card is the turn. The fifth and final card is the river. Players bet after each round of cards is dealt.

What Does This Calculator Do?

This Texas Hold'em odds calculator figures out each player's chance of winning a hand. You enter the hole cards for two or more players, add any community cards you know, and the calculator does the rest. It shows each player's win percentage, tie percentage, and total equity. Equity means how much of the pot a player expects to win over time — essentially the expected value of their hand expressed as a share of the pot.

When the number of possible outcomes is small, the calculator checks every single one for an exact answer. When there are too many possibilities, it uses a method called Monte Carlo simulation. This method runs thousands of random deals and averages the results to get a close estimate. The underlying math relies on probability and combinations to determine how many ways the remaining cards can fall.

Poker Hand Rankings

Poker hands are ranked from weakest to strongest. Knowing these rankings is key to understanding your odds:

  1. High Card — No matching cards. Your highest card plays.
  2. One Pair — Two cards of the same rank.
  3. Two Pair — Two different pairs.
  4. Three of a Kind — Three cards of the same rank.
  5. Straight — Five cards in a row (like 5-6-7-8-9).
  6. Flush — Five cards of the same suit.
  7. Full House — Three of a kind plus a pair.
  8. Four of a Kind — Four cards of the same rank.
  9. Straight Flush — Five cards in a row, all the same suit. A royal flush (10-J-Q-K-A of one suit) is the highest possible straight flush.

How to Use This Tool

Click on a card slot to select it, then pick a card from the deck below. Add hole cards for at least two players and press Calculate Odds. You can also add community cards to see how the odds change on the flop, turn, and river. The equity chart shows how each player's chances shift street by street. Use the Dead Cards section to remove cards you know are out of play, like burned or mucked cards.

Frequently asked questions

How many players can I add to the Texas Holdem odds calculator?

You can add up to 10 players. You must keep at least two players at all times. Click the Add Player button to add more, and click the X button on a player card to remove one.

Do I need to fill in all five community cards to get results?

No. You can leave the board blank or fill in only some cards. The calculator figures out the odds based on whatever cards you have entered. It will consider all possible outcomes for the missing board cards.

What is the difference between exact and simulated results?

When there are 20,000 or fewer possible card combinations left, the calculator checks every single one for an exact answer. When there are more than 20,000 possibilities, it uses Monte Carlo simulation, which runs about 100,000 random deals and averages the results. Both methods give reliable numbers.

What does equity mean in poker?

Equity is your share of the pot based on your chances of winning. If you have 60% equity, you can expect to win 60% of the pot over time. It combines your win chance and your tie chance into one number.

What is the difference between win percentage and equity?

Win percentage is how often you win the pot outright. Equity adds in your share from ties. For example, if you win 40% of the time and tie 10% of the time splitting the pot equally, your equity would be 45%.

What are dead cards and when should I use them?

Dead cards are cards you know are out of play but are not on the board or in any player's hand. Use this for burned cards, mucked hands, or any card you saw that was folded. Adding dead cards makes the odds more accurate.

Why is a card in the deck grayed out?

A grayed-out card is already in use. It has been placed in a player's hand, on the board, or in the dead cards section. You cannot pick the same card twice. Remove it from its current slot first if you want to move it.

How do I change a card I already placed?

Click the filled card slot to remove the card and send it back to the deck. Then pick a new card. You can also hover over a slot and click the small pencil icon to open a card picker where you can swap or clear the card.

What does the equity chart show?

The chart shows how each player's equity changes street by street. It plots equity at the pre-flop stage, then after the flop, turn, and river as you add board cards. This helps you see how the odds shifted as new cards were revealed.

Can I use this calculator on my phone?

Yes. The calculator is fully responsive and works on phones, tablets, and computers. The card deck scrolls sideways on smaller screens so you can reach every card.

How accurate are the simulated results?

Very accurate. The simulator runs about 100,000 random deals, which gives results that are typically within a fraction of a percent of the exact answer. For most practical decisions, the difference is too small to matter.

Why do I need to add cards for at least two players?

Poker odds compare one hand against another. Without at least two complete hands, there is nothing to compare, so the calculator needs a minimum of two players with both hole cards filled in to run.

What does the step-by-step solution section show?

It breaks down exactly how the calculator reached its results. It shows the number of unknown cards, the computation method chosen, the formula used for equity, and the final numbers for each player. This helps you learn the math behind the odds.

Does this calculator account for betting or player behavior?

No. This tool calculates pure math odds based on the cards. It does not factor in bet sizes, pot odds, bluffing, or how players might act. It tells you the raw probability of each hand winning.

What is a flush draw or straight draw shown in the hand label?

A flush draw means you have four cards of the same suit and need one more to make a flush. A straight draw means you are close to a straight. An open-ended straight draw has eight outs, while a gutshot straight draw has four outs.

Is pocket aces always the best starting hand?

Yes. Pocket aces (two aces as hole cards) is the strongest starting hand in Texas Hold'em before any community cards are dealt. However, it can still lose after the flop, turn, and river. No hand is guaranteed to win.
