Free Texas Hold'em Poker Odds Calculator

Blindspot is a free Texas Hold'em poker odds and equity calculator for comparing poker hands and ranges. Enter your hole cards, your opponent's hand or range, and the board to calculate win probability, ties and equity.

Use it for hand vs hand, hand vs range and range vs range analysis on preflop, flop, turn and river situations.

What Is Poker Equity?

Poker equity is your expected share of the pot based on how often your hand or range wins or ties at showdown.

Win probability is the chance you finish with the best hand. A tie is a split: each player is credited with half. Equity adds those together, so a hand that wins 40% of the time and ties 20% of the time has 50% equity, not 40%. That 50% is the share of the pot you collect if the same situation is dealt many times and nobody folds.

Equity moves on every street because the board removes some endings and creates others. A flush draw on the flop is a bundle of turn and river cards. Once the turn is a blank, many of those cards are gone and the equity drops. A paired board, a four-flush, or a card that completes the straight changes the number again.

The opponent's range matters as much as your cards. Pocket aces against a random hand are not pocket aces against a calling range. Board cards and the cards in your hand also block some of those combinations. Holding an ace makes it less likely the other player has aces. A poker equity calculator that ignores blockers will count hands that cannot exist.

How to Use the Blindspot Poker Odds Calculator

The calculator above compares two Texas Hold'em players. Add players until the pot is four-handed. Player 3 is the last seat.

  1. Select your hand. Click the two Hero cards, or switch Hero to a range and type it. A♥ K♥ is the hand already loaded.
  2. Add an opponent hand or range. Opponent starts on JJ+, AQs+, AKo. Replace that with one exact hand, another preset, or any range you paint on the 13×13 matrix.
  3. Set the board. Leave it empty for preflop. Add three cards for a flop, four for the turn, five for the river. Dead cards, if a card was mucked, go in the optional slots and are removed from every range.
  4. Calculate equity. The result updates on its own. It shows equity, the win rate, the tie rate, and whether the runouts were counted exactly or sampled.
  5. Compare equity with pot odds. Type the pot before you call and the amount of the call. The panel shows the equity the call needs. If your equity is above that number, the call wins money with no more betting. If it is close, the margin is thin.

On A♥ K♥ against JJ+, AQs+, AKo, 30 of the 44 starting combinations are still possible. Put Q♠ 7♥ 2♣ on the board and the exact result is 29.3% equity across 25,740 runouts, with 26 combinations left. Open the Scenario tab and click a turn card to see which cards move that number.

Hand vs Hand Poker Equity

Hand vs hand is one exact holding against one exact holding. It is the right tool for an all-in where both hands are known, and for learning how a draw lines up against a made hand.

A♠ A♥ against K♠ K♥ is the standard preflop example. Five cards still have to come, and there are more than a million ways to deal them, so this page samples the runouts and labels the result Monte Carlo. The sample sits near 82% equity for the aces, with ties around half a percent. Read it as an estimate. The same two hands on a flop are usually small enough to count card by card, and that result is marked Exact.

The limit of hand vs hand is the assumption. At the table you rarely know both cards. You know a range: the hands that open under the gun, call a three-bet, or check-call the flop. A single villain hand cannot represent that.

Hand vs Range Poker Equity

Hand vs range equity is your two cards against every hand the opponent can hold, weighted by how often they hold it. It is the more realistic number for a decision you still have to make.

Take Hero with A♠ K♠ and a tight continuing range of JJ+, AQs+, AKo. That text is four pairs, two suited broadway hands, and ace-king offsuit: 44 combinations before any card is removed. A♠ K♠ blocks the ace-king of spades, every ace-queen of spades, and every ace or king combo that needs one of those two cards. Blindspot removes those impossible combinations automatically. What remains is a shorter list, and the equity is only against that list.

The combo breakdown under the result shows each remaining hand and your equity against it. Aces and kings dominate ace-king. Queens on a queen-high flop do too. The total at the bottom is the weighted mix, which is the hand vs range number. A poker hand calculator that only shows the total hides which part of the range is doing the damage.

Range vs Range Equity

Range vs range equity is one whole range against another. Switch both players from Hand to Range and the calculator becomes a range vs range calculator: button open against a big blind defend, an under-the-gun open against a calling range, or any two presets.

Preflop, a wide button range and a big-blind range are often close to an even split. The single percentage is the least interesting part. The useful part is the collision once a flop is dealt. Top-pair hands, overpairs, and draws do not share the pot evenly, even when the ranges as a whole do. Board texture decides which side owns the high-equity hands.

The breakdown lists poker range equity hand by hand. The equity distribution chart groups those matchups into five buckets from 0–20% through 80–100%. On an exact board the chart is the full count. On a sampled spot it appears only after enough runouts have been seen for each hand class, so a thin sample does not draw a misleading bar. Use the matrix or the tight-to-loose slider when you want to change how wide a range is without retyping it.

Poker Equity vs Pot Odds

Pot odds are the price of a call. Required equity is the share of the pot you need so that calling does not lose money if the hand checks down from there.

Required equity = call amount / final pot after calling.

The pot is $100 and the opponent bets $40. You must call $40. After that call the pot is $180: the original $100, the $40 bet, and your $40. Required equity is 40 / 180 = 22.2%.

In the Pot Odds panel, pot size is the pot before your call, which already includes the bet you are facing. Enter 140 and a call of 40. The panel shows 22.2%, the same figure. If your equity is higher than 22.2%, the call is profitable on immediate pot odds alone. If it is lower, folding loses less than calling, again if nobody will bet further.

Real pots are not checkdowns. Implied odds pay you more when you hit and get action. Reverse implied odds cost you more when you hit a second-best hand. Fold equity matters when you can bet and win the pot without showdown. Future betting, stack depth, and ICM in a tournament all move the decision away from the raw percentage. Equity against a range is the input. It is not the whole decision. The note under the panel only compares your equity with the price of this call.

Poker Odds Calculator vs Poker Equity Calculator

Players search both names for the same job. A poker odds calculator usually means win probability: how often this hand or range is ahead at showdown. A poker equity calculator usually means the expected share of the pot, ties included, often against a range rather than one hand.

The two numbers answer different questions only when ties are common. A flush draw against a set rarely ties, so the win rate and the equity are almost the same. Ace-king against a pocket pair ties whenever the board pairs neither player and misses both, or when both make the same hand. Half of those ties belong in the equity and do not belong in a pure win rate.

Blindspot covers both. The large percentage is equity. Wins and Ties sit next to it, so you can see how much of the equity is a chop. Use the poker odds calculator wording when you want the chance of winning the hand. Use the equity figure when you want to compare the hand with the price of a call.

Texas Hold'em Odds Calculator

This Texas Hold'em odds calculator is built for one deck and five community cards. It is not Omaha and it is not a short-deck game.

Preflop, the board is empty and both hole cards are private. The flop locks three community cards and leaves two to come. The turn leaves one. The river leaves none: equity is just the showdown, including ties when the two hands chop. You can study all four streets without resetting the hands. Deal the next card from the scenario list, or click an empty board slot and pick it.

Hole cards can be a specific hand or a range on either side. Board cards block both ranges the moment you add them. A queen on the flop removes every queen from the opponent's combinations and changes the texture those combinations are up against. That is the whole postflop question this holdem odds calculator is meant to answer: given these cards, how is the range actually doing?

Understanding Poker Ranges

A range is the set of two-card hands a player can have, written in the usual shorthand. The calculator accepts that shorthand in the range box and on the matrix.

  • AA is pocket aces: 6 combinations.
  • AKs is ace-king suited: 4 combinations. The s means suited.
  • AKo is ace-king offsuit: 12 combinations. The o means offsuit.
  • AK with no suffix is both suited and offsuit.
  • TT+ is tens and every higher pair: TT, JJ, QQ, KK, AA.
  • AQs+ is AQs and every suited ace with a higher kicker, which is AKs.
  • AJo+ is AJo, AQo, and AKo.

The plus sign means this hand and the stronger hands of the same shape, which is the standard range notation. A dash builds a span, as in QQ-99 or ATs-A8s. A weight such as AA:0.5 keeps half of the ace combinations. An exclamation mark removes a hand: JJ+, AQs+, AKo, !QQ is that range without queens.

Presets cover a premium range, a tight range, and typical seats from under the gun through the blinds. They are starting points for study, not a claim about how any pool plays. The same range idea is what a GTO poker trainer drills: a mix of hands, not one holding shown in isolation.

What Are Poker Blockers?

A blocker is a card you hold, or a card already on the board, that the other player therefore cannot hold.

Holding A♠ means the opponent cannot hold any combination containing A♠. Pocket aces drop from 6 combinations to 3. Ace-king of spades is impossible. Ace-queen of spades is impossible. The range is the same words as before and a different number of hands.

That changes equity because the missing combinations are not a random sample of the range. Blocking aces removes the hands you were most behind. Blocking the nut flush draw removes hands that would have had a lot of equity against you. Dead cards do the same job for a card that left the deck without being shown, such as a burned card or a folded hand you happened to see. Put them in the dead-card slots and they are stripped out before the count.

How Does a Poker Equity Calculator Work?

Blindspot expands each range into card combinations, then throws away any combination that repeats a hole card, a board card, or a dead card. Two hands that both need the same remaining card never meet. What is left is the real matchup list.

For each matchup it deals the cards still missing from the board and compares the best five-card hands. A win credits the full pot to that player. A tie credits half. Equity is (wins + half the ties) divided by the number of runouts. The opponent's equity is the rest, so the two shares add to 100%.

When the matchups multiplied by the possible runouts are 40,000 or fewer, every runout is counted. The result is marked Exact, and the runout count is the full number. Larger spots, including most preflop range-against-range questions, use a seeded Monte Carlo sample: 18,000 runouts when one or two cards remain, and 8,000 otherwise. Refresh draws a new sample. The same hands and board always start from the same seed, so the estimate does not flicker every time the page recalculates.

The method label is part of the result on purpose. An exact 29.3% and a sampled figure near 82% are not the same kind of number. Use the exact count when it is offered. Treat the sample as a close estimate.

Why Use a Poker Calculator?

A poker calculator is how you check a hand you keep replaying. The all-in you called, the draw you folded, the river card you did not expect. Guessing "I was about 40%" is a start. Counting it is the study.

Use it to review all-ins once both hands are known, to see what a draw is worth against the calling range, and to learn which boards favor the opener and which favor the caller. Compare that equity with the pot odds of the call you actually faced. Watch blockers change the combo count when you add one card. The Scenario tab is there for the turn and river cards you were afraid of.

When the percentage is no longer the question, take the hand into a poker hand review or sit down and play poker with AI. The poker AI trainer comments on the decision in a full Sit & Go, and the poker AI opponents are the table that decision is played against. Equity tells you the price. The trainer is where you practice paying it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a poker odds calculator?

A poker odds calculator estimates how often a poker hand or range will win or tie against another hand or range.

What is a poker equity calculator?

A poker equity calculator measures the expected share of the pot for a hand or range based on possible showdown outcomes.

What does 60% poker equity mean?

Over repeated equivalent situations, that hand or range receives about 60% of the pot, including half of every tie. A single hand can still lose.

Can I calculate poker equity against a range?

Yes. Enter your hole cards and the opponent's range. Blindspot drops combinations that use a card you hold, a board card, or a dead card, then calculates hand vs range equity.

Can I calculate range vs range equity?

Yes. Set both players to a range. The result is the equity of one range against the other, with a breakdown by hand.

Yes. Leave the board empty. Blindspot runs the remaining five cards, counting every runout when the spot is small enough and sampling it otherwise.

Can I calculate postflop equity?

Yes. Add a flop, turn, or river. Equity is for that board, and the scenario view shows how the next card changes it.

What is the difference between poker equity and pot odds?

Poker equity is your share of the pot if the hand is dealt to showdown. Pot odds are the share you need for a call to be profitable before any further betting.
