Poker odds calculator — complete guide
What is a poker odds calculator?
A poker odds calculator tells you, for any hand vs. any set of opponent hands, the exact probability that you win, tie, or lose at the end of the hand. Ours supports Texas Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO), and Short Deck — the three most-played variants online.
What this calculator does
- Three variants — Texas Hold'em, PLO, and Short Deck — one click to switch.
- Real-time odds — percentages update as you change hands or community cards.
- Two modes — fast Monte Carlo for any street, exact Exhaustive for preflop/flop.
- Multi-way — up to 9 players in Hold'em and Short Deck, 6 in PLO.
Poker hand rankings
The math only matters if you know what hand beats what. Here are the rankings for every variant the calculator supports.
Texas Hold'em hand rankings
In Hold'em you combine your two hole cards with five community cards to make the best five-card hand.
- Royal Flush: A-K-Q-J-10 of the same suit.A♠K♠Q♠J♠T♠
- Straight Flush: Five consecutive cards of the same suit.9♠8♠7♠6♠5♠
- Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same rank.A♥A♦A♣A♠K♥
- Full House: Three of a kind plus a pair.K♥K♦K♣Q♥Q♠
- Flush: Five cards of the same suit, not in sequence.A♥K♥Q♥9♥7♥
- Straight: Five consecutive cards of mixed suits.A♠K♣Q♦J♥T♠
- Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same rank.7♥7♦7♣A♠K♥
- Two Pair: Two different pairs.K♠K♣Q♥Q♦J♠
- Pair: Two cards of the same rank.A♠A♣Q♥J♦9♠
- High Card: When nothing else lands, the highest card wins.A♠K♣Q♥J♦9♠
Play the best five cards from your two hole cards and the five community cards — any combination.
Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) hand rankings
PLO uses the same ranking as Hold'em, but with one critical rule that changes everything.
- Royal Flush: A-K-Q-J-10 of the same suit.A♥K♥Q♥J♥T♥
- Straight Flush: Five consecutive cards of the same suit.8♦7♦6♦5♦4♦
- Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same rank.T♣T♥T♦T♠A♠
- Full House: Three of a kind plus a pair.J♣J♥J♦2♠2♣
- Flush: Five cards of the same suit, not in sequence.K♣T♣8♣5♣2♣
- Straight: Five consecutive cards of mixed suits.7♠6♥5♦4♣3♠
- Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same rank.5♠5♥5♦K♣2♠
- Two Pair: Two different pairs.A♣A♥7♦7♠J♠
- Pair: Two cards of the same rank.Q♣Q♥A♦T♠3♠
- High Card: When nothing else lands, the highest card wins.A♣Q♥T♦5♠2♣
The Omaha rule: use exactly two of your four hole cards and exactly three community cards. You can't play the board.
Short Deck (6+ Hold'em) hand rankings
Short Deck removes the 2s through 5s, so the math shifts and a few ranks swap.
- Royal Flush: A-K-Q-J-10 of the same suit.A♠K♠Q♠J♠T♠
- Straight Flush: Five consecutive cards of the same suit.9♥8♥7♥6♥A♥
- Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same rank.Q♣Q♥Q♦Q♠A♣
- Flush: Five cards of the same suit, not in sequence.A♦K♦J♦9♦6♦
- Full House: Three of a kind plus a pair.T♣T♥T♦9♠9♣
- Straight: Five consecutive cards of mixed suits.A♣K♥Q♦J♠T♣A♠6♣7♦8♥9♠
- Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same rank.8♠8♥8♦A♣K♠
- Two Pair: Two different pairs.K♣K♥J♦J♠A♣
- Pair: Two cards of the same rank.A♣A♥K♦Q♠J♠
- High Card: When nothing else lands, the highest card wins.A♣K♥J♦9♠7♣
Key differences: flush beats a full house, and A-6-7-8-9 is the lowest straight.
Note: some rooms also let trips beat straights. Always check the table rules.
How to use the calculator

- Flop: add the three flop cards to see how your equity shifts.
- Turn / river: check drawing odds on tough decisions.
- Multi-way: add more players to model real cash or tournament spots.
Up to 9 players in Hold'em and Short Deck; 6 players in PLO.
Frequently asked questions
Monte Carlo vs. Exhaustive — which should I use?
Monte Carlo is fast and accurate to a fraction of a percent — good for most situations. Exhaustive gives an exact answer but only runs preflop or on the flop. Use exhaustive when you need perfect precision; otherwise Monte Carlo.
Does the order of hands matter?
No. The calculator treats all hands equally. Position and action are not included — this is pure equity.
Does it support Omaha Hi-Lo (8 or better)?
Not yet. Current support is standard PLO only. Hi-Lo is on the roadmap.
Why can identical-looking hands show slightly different percentages?
In Monte Carlo, suit-equivalent hands (A♥K♥ vs. A♠K♠) can drift by a fraction of a percent across runs. We apply isomorphic correction, so equivalent hands return the same result.
Disclaimer
This calculator is a study tool. Real play also depends on position, bet sizing, stack depth, and opponent tendencies — things pure equity can't model.
