Online poker odds calculators are poker software tools that automatically calculate the poker odds for a hand, using the information that is available. These poker statistics that the poker odds calculators generate are especially useful as a tool for beginner poker players who are not completely familiar with the odds of making different poker hands. Advanced poker players will be more interested in products such as Holdem Ranger that allowed for detailed calculations of equity using hand ranges. If you are interested in extremely detailed mathematical projections of poker situations and aren't afraid to get elbow deep in formulas then check out Pokerazor.  Simple Free Poker Calculators can be found on sites like PocketFives.com and CardPlayer.com.

Most poker calculators will display your odds of making a variety of hands such as straights, flushes, full houses, etc. as well as your opponents' odds of having those hands. In most poker odds calculators, all of these statistics are combined to give you an estimated win percentage as well as a recommended action. Some poker odds calculators run in real time and read the cards that are on the table to gather the data. Others, such as PokerStove, are used on their own and require the user to enter all of the hand information.

When deciding what kind of Hold'em calculator you want to use, take into consideration what features you would like to have. If you are interested in getting probabilities and only play a single table, check out the Poker Wingman poker odds calculator. It attached to a single table and offers odds and advice based on customizable playing style settings. If you want to go through and analyze hands after they have been played to find out if you put your money in correctly vs. your opponent's range of hands, check out PokerStove or Hold'em Ranger.

Poker odds calculators are extremely useful tools when used correctly. Do not make the mistake of choosing one that gives poor advice or incorrect statistics. Some calculators are banned at certain poker sites. This is usually because you are not allowed to use programs that give advice in real time. Another reason that online poker calculators such as Poker-edge are banned is because they used a central database of hand histories to calculate opponent's playing styles and makes recommendations based on that.
