Poker Odds & Probabilities
It has been said that there are two groups of players in poker. The first group of players bets even when the odds are not in their favor. The second group of players profits from the cash left behind by the first group. You want to belong to the
second group.
Knowing your odds well is a key discipline one must possess to consistently win
at poker. The poker odds chart below shows the probabilities of obtaining various
winning hands in Texas Hold'em Poker.
"Now the general who wins a battle makes many calculations in his temple ere the battle is fought. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand.
Thus do many calculations lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat: how much
more no calculation at all! It is by attention to this point that I can foresee
who is likely to win or lose." - Sun Tzu
