Texas Hold'em Poker Odds Cheat Sheet

Once the flop has been dealt in Texas Hold'em, you'll be able to count your outs and know how likely it is your hand will improve -- and that'll tell you whether you should stay in the hand or fold.

You can figure out your outs and odds for any hand, but here is a quick and dirty list of the most common scenarios:

If after the flop, you have...

Two outs -- your odds are 11 to 1 -- common scenario: hoping your pair becomes three-of-a-kind

Four outs-- your odds are 5 to 1 -- common scenario: trying to hit an inside straight draw

Eight outs -- your odds are 2 to 1-- common scenario: you have an open-ended straight draw

Nine outs -- your odds are 2 to 1 -- common scenario: you have a flush draw

Fifteen outs -- your odds are 1 to 1
