Pot odds

Call or fold? The math decides.

A call is a price. Your draw is a probability. When the probability beats the price, calling makes money over the long run — when it does not, it bleeds. This tool puts the two numbers next to each other.

The idea

Equity versus price.

Pot odds are the price: the bet to call against the pot it wins. Equity is what your outs are worth. Call only when equity is the bigger number — over many hands, that single rule is the difference between a winning and a losing player.

Call or fold?

Compare what it costs to call with what you can win.

What is in the pot before your decision.

What you have to put in to stay in the hand.

Cards still to come that give you the winning hand.

Your equity (35.0%) is greater than the pot odds (20.0%). Over the long run, calling here makes money.

This measures direct pot odds only. It does not include implied odds (what you would win on later streets) or the chance the opponent keeps betting.
