| The BASICS - WillisNYC When I first started playing poker, everything was about the odds. I played limit ring a lot and needed to know if certain calls were justified. My first poker book listed all those "drawing"odds in a neat little chart that I copied and taped to the side of my computer monitor. It stayed there until I memorized those numbers and hard coded them into my brain. When I started playing a lot more NL ring, those numbers helped me to make good decisions quickly. Below is a copy of that chart with some explanations.
You also need some other numbers ‘hard-wired' about preflop odds for different types of starting hands. The odds of flopping a full house or other stronger hand are so low (.09% or less) as to be considered insignificant. However the following stats are VERY significant. For instance, if you are heads up, what are the chances that your opponent has at least a pair after the flop? (31.2% 1 time of 17 he has a pp and the other times he hits one of his hole cards. A pair on the board doesn't count.) You will be dealt a pocket pair once every 17 hands and AA once every
221 hands. The flop has a pr like KKQ. What are the odds of your opponent having another K? (1.347% or 74 to 1 AGAINST) If you have unpaired cards, how often will you flop
2 pair? (Not
counting a board pair) Your cards are both the same suit, what are the chances of flopping a flush draw? (10.944% or 8.13 to 1 against) With paired connectors you have the following chances: Draws:
