Can you calculate poker odds quickly enough to compete with the big boys?:

As Texas Holdem and other poker games continue to grow in poprity, so does the quality of the players (your opponents). It is essential to the success every player t you learn to cte s quickly and accurately.

Lets give it a try. For example , lets say we hold a 8 and A of hearts and the flop comes down 6 9 7 with two hearts. Here's how you cte your cce of hitting the flush. First let's count our poker s. Any heart will give us a flush . There are 9 hearts left in the deck (13 to begin with, minus the two in our d and the two on the board). In other words, we have 9 s.To cte our s of hitting our flush with the turn and river to come, simply multiply the number of s by 4. ( 9x4=36). If the number of s is higher n eight, subtract 1 from your total. T gives us 35. We have roughly a 35% cce of hitting our flush with the turn and river to come.

W if there's only the river to come? In this case, we multiply our number of s by 2, and add 1 if we have 6 or more s. (9x2 +1=19)We have a 19% cce of hitting our flush with only the river card to come. Piece of cake, right? Don't you wish it were t easy.
You also have the cce of hitting a straight. Remember, you're holding an 8 and there is a 6,7 and 9 on the board. Now any 5 or 10 will give you a straight and t increases your number of s. And did I forget to mention t there is $100 in the pot and it will cost you $25 to l. Now you have to figure pot s in addition to d s.

I don't know ab you, but I became confused after the 9x4=36.
The beauty of it all is t there are free online poker ctors t are available to you to assist you in these ctions. They make all these ctions virtually instantaneously for you. They are also allowed in a large number of poker rooms. You now have the advantage of knowing your d s and pot s. In addition, the poker s ctor takes your table position into account.

Now t the mathematics is done for you, you simply have to decide w your opponent may have, and whether you want to play your d.
Poker s ctors do not guarantee success, but they definitely increase your cces of success.
