Don't just memorize the odds, *understand* them ...

This app teaches you a general method for estimating the odds for just about any Texas Hold'em scenario in your head in real time - on the fly in the middle of a live hand!

Poker trainers, odds calculators, outs charts, etc. are useful tools but do they show you why the odds are what they are or are you just training yourself mechanically? And you can't use these tools in the middle of a live hand (would you really want to?; could be a "FISH" tell :)). This app takes a new and different approach to poker odds - understanding instead of memorizing.

Our odds estimation method is a pretty simple 3-step procedure. First you count your outs and estimate your odds of improving (using for example the "Rule of 4 & 2"; this app shows you how). Then you consider your opponent's counter-outs, then put the two together to come up with a good odds estimate.

There are several variations of the "Rule of 4 & 2"; we'll be adding them to the app over time. But our odds estimation method is more general than any version of the Rule of 4 & 2:

** We've come up with an odds rule for pre-flop situations (our own small invention).

** Our method takes counter-outs into account. For example if you have a flush draw you have much less equity if you're up against a set than if you're up against 1-pair. The Rule of 4 & 2 by itself doesn't account for this.

We've provided a dozen common and important pre-flop and post-flop scenarios for you to practice the method on. This app will take you through the 3 steps for each practice scenario, one screen per step, and will make sure that you're on track towards a good odds estimate each step of the way, correcting you if needed. We've provided info/help buttons for each sub-step.

Now, we're not saying that you're going to master this in 5 or 10 minutes. You're going to have to practice the method more than a few times, think about the outs and counter-outs, and do simple math operations in your head - just basic +, -, *, /; let's not let our math teachers down :). We hope you feel that acquiring this odds skill and knowledge is more than worth the learning/practice time.

Please write to us if you have any questions, suggestions, or any other feedback. We're also the developers of PokerCruncher (the powerful Texas Hold'em odds calculator that supports hand ranges), and Hold'em Odds Quizzer, which would complement this app well. Thanks for reading about this app and best of luck in your games.
