Poker Odds Vs Outs
Hand% Odds; AA: 0.45%: 220:1: 4 outs, drawing 2 cards from 52, need 2 of the outs. AA or KK: 0.90%: 110:1: Pocket Aces is 0.45, Pocket Kings is 0.45, add them together. Outs times 4% Not good if low or high numbers of outs. For example, using the Good approximation, if you have 9 Outs, then you have a 19% chance on the turn, a 19% chance on the river, and a 38% minus 19% of 19% (close to 20% of 20%, which is 4%) equals a 34% chance on the turn and river combined.
Below you will see our pot odds and outs chart, which shows the percentage of winning a hand by the turn/river or river only, depending on how many outs you have. You can right click and save the chart to your computer.
If you don’t like memorizing charts then there are some shortcuts that can be used. For example, if you have 1 to 9 outs and the turn and river cards are yet to be seen then you can multiply your outs times 4 to come within 1 percentage point of the true chances of hitting your card. This covers the inside straight draw(4 outs), 2 overs(6 outs), the open ended straight draw(8 outs) and the flush draw(9 outs).
For example, 2 overs is 6 outs multiplied by 4 is 24% which is your approximate chance of getting at least one of your overs.
