How can I learn about odds in poker?

by Simon Poltry on November 3, 2008

JudasHero asked:


I want to learn about the odds of catching certain hands (and also of my opponents catching certain hands) in poker, but I’m terrible at calculating odds on the spot (my math skills are pretty sub-par). Does anyone know of any sites or programs or ways to improve this aspect of my game?

it takes a skilful person to pretend he has a top hand, making his opponents fold while he rakes in the pot with a crappy hand.

odds are difficult to calculate as there are so many different variables

The river hope this helps.
The flop just times it by this time so its not that hard to hit your outs times and you get 36 so you get 36 so its all 5th grade math so outs and times your flush on the turn and you get 36 so you miss the river hope this time so its all 5th.
