Quick Reference: Poker Outs and Odds
Essential outs and odds every player should memorize. Flush draw (9 outs): 35% flop to river, 19% turn to river. Open-ended straight draw (8 outs): 31% flop to river, 17% turn to river. Gutshot straight draw (4 outs): 17% flop to river, 9% turn to river.
Overpair vs set: approximately 9% (4 outs, one pair must improve to a better set). Two overcards vs lower pair: approximately 45% (similar to a coin flip). Combo draw (flush + straight, 15 outs): 54% flop to river.
Converting outs to pot odds: if you need 33% equity to call and have 9 outs on the turn (18%), the call is unprofitable unless implied odds bridge the gap. With sufficient implied odds (opponent will pay off if you hit), the call becomes profitable.
