fullhouse 		It is basicly a way of finding out the ood of your hand IMPROVING NOT WINNING. Lets say you flop an open ended straight draw. Your holding 7, 8, off suit. The flop comes 5, 6, Q. So any 9 or 4 will give you a straight your hand improves. There are four 9s in the deck and four 4s in the deck so you have 8 (4+4=8) outs to the straight. Take your number of outs and multiply it by 4 and that will give you the % chance your hand will improve.
(8 outs X 4= 32) you have about a 32% chance of hitting the straight. There is a more precise way to calculate the odds but multiplying your outs by 4 is damn close to acurate and yery easy to do.

Lets take that same hand with the straight draw and give us a flush draw as well. You hold 7h,8h the flop comes 5h, 6c, Qh. So you have the same out to the straight as last example but are now holding a flush draw as well. We no there are 13 hearts in a deck of cards and you see four of them. That leaves nine hearts still available.So you have 9 outs to the flush. Add your outs together (9 outs to a flush + 8 outs to the straight = 17 outs). Take your 17 outs and mutiply by 4 and you have a 68% chance of drawing one of your outs and making the flush or straight.

If you dont hit your card on the turn your % odds are cut in half with only one card to come (the river). 68% drops to 34%.

You also have outs to pairs. You could pair up your hole cards 7, 8. You could say you have three outs to a pair of 7s and three outs to a pair of 8s. Not a very strong pair at this point in a game so I wouldent get to excited about them.

Good Luck.

jonbrown 		It is best not to play "Texas hold em" because the game itself is a subtle endorsement of the horrible policies and deeds of our president who wants to make anything with a "Texas" connection popular. Resist the demon with all your might, all your knowledge, all your skill. The game itself is simple and stupid, just like the prez, and the more dumb simple things people do the more they are supporting him by implication. Do not recognize him, deny his authority, he is illegitimate, make him go away.

smithy 		Well if you know what you have and what your opponent has (such as when one of you is all in, in a no limit game), there are 48 unknown cards before the flop, 45 after and 44 before the river. These mean that you have a ~2-2.25 chance of any one card appearing in the middle, so add up the number of cards that you need to have the higher hand in the end (or your oppenent needs to beat your hand if you are leading) and multiply by 2 for the percentage that the lower hand will beat the higher hand (and possibly that they will spilt the pot). This is not an exact way of doing it oviviously, but it gives you quite a close answer and a fast way to do it (frankly would you feel that much better with a 6.854% chance, when this says you only have a 6% chance?).
