How to Use the Poker Odds Calculator

Step 1: Choose Number of Players

Select how many people are at your table. The more players, the tougher it is to win.

Step 2: Enter Your Hole Cards

Type your two-hole cards (your private cards) using shorthand:

• Example: Ah Ks means Ace of hearts and King of spades.

Use this format:

• A = Ace, K = King, Q = Queen, J = Jack, T = Ten
• h = hearts, s = spades, d = diamonds, c = clubs

Step 3: Enter Community Cards (optional)

If you’re mid-hand and some cards are on the table, enter up to 5 community cards:

• Example: 2h 7d 9s

This helps refine the odds if you’re at the flop, turn, or river stage.

Step 4: Click “Estimate Win Chance”

Hit the green button to get a win probability, shown as a percentage (e.g., 42.6%).

Note: This tool uses a simplified odds model to give a quick estimate. For more advanced simulations, poker engines like PokerStove or Equilab are recommended.
