Calculating probabilities for 5-card Poker is fairly straightforward for the possible 2,598,960 hands drawn randomly from a deck of 52 cards. However, in Texas Hold’em we are dealt 7 cards from which we must choose the best 5-card hand. This complicates matters, not only because there are now 133,784,560 possible hands, but because of the conditional probabilities presented to us at each stage of the game. The Poker Probability Calculator overcomes this by using Monte Carlo Simulation techniques to estimate the chances of each hand occurring. It also calculates the cumulative probability of improving a hand. In addition, the Calculator assigns a value from 1 to 100 for the Hole Cards and displays the chances of winning using a Win Ratio at any stage of the game (the Demo version will only calculate for Hole Cards).
