Enter the pot (including the bet you are facing), the amount to call and your outs. We compare the equity you need with the equity you have.

Based on drawing odds only: it ignores implied odds, reverse implied odds and whether your outs are clean.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate pot odds?

Divide the amount you must call by the final pot after you call. Call $50 into a $150 pot (including the bet): 50 ÷ (150 + 50) = 25%. You need at least 25% equity for the call to break even, which is pot odds of 3 to 1.

What is the rule of 4 and 2?

A shortcut for your equity: with two cards to come (on the flop) multiply your outs by 4; with one card to come (on the turn) multiply by 2. Nine flush outs on the flop is about 36% by this rule; the exact figure is 35%.

What are implied odds?

Implied odds count the money you can win on later streets when you hit, not only what is in the pot now. They justify calls that look slightly unprofitable on pot odds alone, but only against opponents who will actually pay you off.
