How the Poker Pot Odds Calculator Works

Pot odds tell you whether calling a bet is mathematically profitable. They compare the size of the current pot to the amount you must call. If your chance of hitting your hand (your equity) is bigger than the pot odds you are being asked to pay, calling is profitable in the long run.

Pot Odds Formula

Equity needed = Call / (Pot + Call) × 100%
Ratio = Pot : Call (e.g. a $100 pot and $25 call is 4:1)

Outs and the rule of 2 and 4

Your outs are the unseen cards that complete your hand. A quick way to turn outs into equity:

×4 on the flop (two cards still to come) for your approximate chance by the river
×2 on the turn (one card to come)

Worked example

The pot is $100 and you must call $25, so you need $25 / $125 = 20% equity to break even. You have a flush draw with 9 outs — roughly 9 × 2 = 18% on the next card, or 9 × 4 = 36% by the river. With one card to come 18% is below the 20% you need, so calling for the turn alone is slightly −EV; if you will see both cards it is clearly +EV.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are pot odds?+

Pot odds compare the size of the pot to the cost of calling. They tell you the minimum equity (chance of winning) you need for a call to be profitable.

How do I calculate pot odds?+

Divide the amount to call by the total pot after your call. $25 to call into a $125 total pot is 20% — the equity you need to break even.

What are outs in poker?+

Outs are the cards still in the deck that would make your hand. A flush draw has 9 outs; an open-ended straight draw has 8.

What is the rule of 2 and 4?+

A shortcut: multiply your outs by 4 on the flop, or by 2 on the turn, to estimate your percentage chance of hitting by the river.
