With a resurgence of poker in recent years, more new players are either learning the game or 
getting back into it after a hiatus. And for anyone who plays, it’s important to not only 
understand the rules but to know poker hand odds and rankings so you know your odds of 
winning. This guide will assist beginners to experienced players on how to calculate poker odds 
and gauge the chances of success. We’ll provide everything you need to know to beat others 
when playing online poker.

How Poker Odds Work.

Before you can play you need to understand the probability of winning any given hand. When 
the odds are higher, it means your chance of a win is lower. This is shown as a ratio and 
indicates your potential ROI. For example, 12:1 means that for every $1 you bet, the return 
would be $12.
Before learning poker hands, you first need to know how to calculate ‘outs’ which are cards that 
will help you improve your hand and make it more valuable than what others at the table have. 
There are 52 cards in a deck and you will start with two with four other cards coming from the 
flop and turn. That means of the 46 cards that remain unseen, you have 9 potential winning 
cards, or outs and works out to the odds of 4:1 in your favor.
