Unfortunately, due to the vague and uncertain legal and regulatory environment in the United States, PokerSavvy does not allow United States residents to sign up for SavvyPoints or rakeback offers at real money poker rooms. We regret that we need to do this and hope that the US government will soon clarify the law and create a framework that allows US-based poker players to play the game they love safely and openly. We encourage you to contact your Congressperson to express your view that poker is not, and should not, be illegal and we encourage you to support candidates at all levels that share that view.

In the meantime, we welcome you to check out PokerSavvy Plus, our poker training product that is fully accessible to United States residents. Thanks for your understanding.

In Texas hold'em, we can make assumptions that allow us to calculate our odds of drawing a card to make a winning hand. Let's assume you hold Jh-Th in a 6-way pot. Many players love J-T suited because of the large number of straights and flushes it can make.

Say you're playing $5-$10 limit hold'em at Party Poker. No one raised pre-flop. One limper and both blinds see the flop, so there's $30 in the pot.

You see the flop of: Ac Kh 3h

To figure out the odds of making your hand on the next card (the turn) you first need to count your outs -- the number of cards that will help you. How many outs do you have? Assume that with 6 total players in the pot, at least one player has an ace or a king, so you're not drawing to a jack or a ten, which would give you a smaller pair. Also assume that if you hit your flush, you will have a winning hand -- no one else will have a higher flush. Although these assumptions will not always be correct, you must make some guesses in order to calculate you odds.
