The table below shows you the chans to improve your hand depending on how many of the unseen cards that can help your hand.

Example: If you after the flop have four cards in a straight (ex:4,5,6,7) you have 8 of the unseen cards left to help you (four 3 and four 8), and according to the table that’s 31,5% or 2 to 1.

Pot odds: The money you need to commit versus the total money in the pot. Lets say there are 100$ in the pot and it cost you 20$ to call that gives you the pot odds 5 to 1.

An easy way to see if you have the right pot odds is that the pot odds always have to be bigger than your chans of hitting your draw.

Example: You have four cards in a flush after the flop that gives you 35% or 2 to 1 to make the flush. There are 160$ in the pot and it costs you 40$ to call. That gives you the pot odds 40/160= 25% or 3 to 1. You’re gonna hit the flush one time out of tree (2 to 1), when you hit it you will earn 200 minus the fourty it costed you to call = 160$ and the two times you miss it will cost you 40$+40$= 80$. The long time winning will be 80$.

In the example above you only called 40$ on the flop but most of the time you also have to call on the turn. All the odds in the table below is the odds when you have seen all the five cards. So when you calculate the odds you have to count in how much it might cost you to see the flop and the turn.

Implecitas odds: The odds you have compared to what you can win in the total pot. Implecitas odds is most used in no-limit because you can get a lot more money in the pot compared to what it costed you to call.

Example: You have a inside straight draw on the flop and it cost you 10$ to call a 15$ pot, which means that you don’t have the pot odds to call. But if you think you can win lets say 200$ of your opponents money if you hit your straight then you have very good implecitas odds to call.

Reduced outs is the card who is good for you but even better for yor opponent. Its very important to decide the number of reduced outs when you calculate odds, to eliminate drawing dead.

Example1: You hold 7 9 on your hand, flop comes T J Q, now you have an openended straightdraw. You have 8 outs for your straight, four eights and four kings. Now you have to reduce your outs to 4 because you might be drawing dead on the kings when your opponent can hold an ace on his hand and get a higher straight.

Example 2: You hold K T on your hand, flop comes 9 T J, you have middlepair T T. You have 2 outs the tens, you have to reduce the 3 kings in the deck couse you might be drawing dead to a straight if the king comes.
