For example, let us assume I hold A7 of spades. The flop comes A K J with 3 players total. What is the chance that 1. I am currently ahead. 2. That I will win against the other 2 people holding random cards if we were to see the hand through to the river?

How do poker odds calculators like the holdem inspector work i.e how do they intercept your cards and follow the bets, game play etc? Why are they only compatible with some sites? Please advise. thanks

Holdem Heat Map is a free Texas Holdem Odds Calculator. What makes it unique is the “heat map” showing how your hand stacks up against all your opponent’s possible hands.

Fear Itself asked:

I know A-A is best. Then probably K-K. Is Q-Q next or is AK better? I would like to know the entire ranking from best to worst (7-2 offsuit I believe)

I’m good at maths and it occurred to me now that i have a few months with nothing to do i should use this to try and make money with online poker. I’ve played with my family before, but usually with play money and not to a very high standard. I can work out the probabilities of a hand winning and stuff, but i am aware there’s a lot more to it, including analyzing the way players bet and the psychology of it, so does anyone know of a good book that can help me learn some of that stuff. Specifically, I’d like to learn how to win at low-limit tables (like $0.50/$1 or lower), and take the money off the players which i assume are quite bad who play on those tables.

So basically I want a book on limit hold’em poker strategy designed for consistently taking small amounts of money from weak players. Can anyone reccomend anything?
thank you Judas (!), do you know where I could buy that Lee Jones one in London, I’ve also heard about it and by the title it sounds fairly ideal…

I play a lot of home games with my friends. i dont mean to sound conceided, but i am playing on a whole different level than some of them. Lately it seems like no matter how i play i lose with an amazing string of bad luck. I can play every hand perfect and everytime on the river i will get screwed. When this happens i generally go on tilt, and end up losing more and more even though i continue to play perfect. i will pre-flop raise with excellent hands just to get beat by someone who played something awful pre-flop. i could have AK suited and bet 5x the blind and will get called by something like 84 offsuit and end up losing to 2 pair or trips. and lately this has happened literally every hand i’ve played. I guess my question is how do i overcome such bad luck? i know sometimes poker is 90% skill and 10% luck and sometimes its 90% luck and 10% skill, but latly it seems like its 100% luck for everyone else. Any suggestions on how i can possibly turn this around would be great.

Though new to Texas holdem, I have been verrry lucky. I play “tight”…and do not use any software calculators .etc. Since if I do make it to the big event there will be none available. Help! I am getting tired of being uncertain re/ my hand.
