Newbie Information : Poker Hand Odds

[Des]

In the game of Hold'em there are plenty of times you will need a card to show itself on the flop, turn, or the river.

For instance, you may need to know the odds of catching that club on the river for the flush, or flopping the third 8 to go with the two in your hand.

In order to compute the odds of finding the card you need on the board, you will need to know two things.

Go to the below article to work out your odds of hitting that card you need to make you hand a winning one.

GREAT LINK DES,A GRUDE WAY TO CALCULATE ODDS IS THE 42 WAY.ON THE TURN MULTIPLY YOUR NUMBER OF OUTS BY 4 AND THE RIVER BY 2.A SIMPLE BUT FAIRLY ACCURATE WAY.
KEEP ON FLOPPING.

Flush: If you hold a four flush, the odds of catching it on the turn are 19.1%, on the river is 19.6%. Catching it on the turn or the river is 35.0%

Open-Ended Straight: Odds of catching your card on the turn, 17.0%. On the river, 17.4%. On the turn or the river, 31.5%

Someone should tell Shaun Dillaway those odds so he stops calling, and catching, every hand.

KEEP ON FLOPPING.

Good point. Shaun, you are an excellent player - you know when to call, raise and fold. You do catch a lot though.

Flush: If you hold a four flush, the odds of catching it on the turn are 19.1%, on the river is 19.6%. Catching it on the turn or the river is 35.0%

Open-Ended Straight: Odds of catching your card on the turn, 17.0%. On the river, 17.4%. On the turn or the river, 31.5%

This may be a stupid question. But if it's more likely to catch a flush then why does it beat a straight?

There are more ways to make a straight than there are a flush.
