   to calculate the odds of making a hand…like 1 care to the flush…count your outs and multiply by 2…then multiply that by the number of cards to come.
   For instance, if you have 4 cards to the flush after the flop..
   you have 9 outs with 2 cards to come
   9 X 2 X 2 = 36%
   Not exact but pretty darn close.

   Hand strengths are overrated, and you shouldn’t let the concept of this run your poker game. Percentages you see on TV are percentages for how often a certain hand will win over another hand, out of thousands of such hands being played. Now, that doesn’t mean that seven-deuce offsuit should be played against pocket kings or aces, but I’ve cracked pocket kings with eight-ten offsuit before.

   AA, KK, AK, and QQ are strong pre-flop. After the flop you have to look at if you have a draw, how big the draw is, if there are over cards, and ho people are betting. An A high flush draw is a hell of a lot better than 10 high flush draw.
