Pot Odds & Outs Calculator

How the pot odds calculator works

Equity needed is the bet you must call divided by the final pot after your call. Chance to hit is the exact probability of hitting at least one of your outs from the unseen cards (47 on the flop, 46 on the turn). When your chance to hit is higher than the equity needed, calling is profitable in the long run.

Remember that outs aren’t always clean — a card that completes your straight could give an opponent a flush. When in doubt, count a few outs fewer. For the full explanation, read our pot odds and outs lesson.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate pot odds?

Divide the amount you have to call by the total pot after your call (the current pot, including your opponent’s bet, plus your call). The result is the minimum equity you need for a break-even call.

What is the rule of 2 and 4?

Multiply your outs by 2 to estimate your chance of hitting on the next card, or by 4 for two cards when you are all-in on the flop. It slightly overestimates draws with many outs.

What are implied odds?

Implied odds include the extra chips you expect to win on later streets when your draw hits. They can make a call profitable even when the immediate pot odds are not quite enough.
