This is a challenging app. You need to be pretty good at doing basic math operations in your head. For example, what’s the value of:
16% * 20%
We’ve added a “Math” help button to show you how to calculate this in your head. One way is, 20% means one-fifth. One-fifth of 16% is (16% / 5), which is a little more than 3%. 3.2% to be exact. Or, convert to decimals, multiply, then convert back to %age’s.

This app uses specific hand situations, and some people don’t see the value in this because in real life play we don’t know our opponents’ cards. There’s still value in specific hand situations, because they’re the building blocks that we can use to put together and estimate the odds for more complex hand range situations. For example every good player should know the odds for specific hand situations like AJ vs. QQ pre-flop, or FlushDraw vs. TopPair on the flop. Our other apps e.g. PokerCruncher handle both specific hands and hand ranges.

Poker trainers, odds tables, etc. are useful tools but do they help you learn why the odds are what they are or are you just memorizing specific situations? And you can’t use these tools or odds/equity calculators in the middle of a live hand (would you really want to?; could be a “fish” tell :)). This app takes a new and different approach to poker odds - understanding instead of memorizing, so you can handle any situation that comes your way.
Our odds estimation method is a pretty simple 3-step procedure. First you count your outs and estimate your odds of improving (using for example the "Rule of 4&2"; this app shows you how). Then you consider your opponent’s counter-outs. Then you put the two together to come up with a good odds estimate.
We’ve provided about 20 common and important pre-flop and post-flop scenarios for you to practice the method on. This app will take you through the 3 steps for each practice scenario, one screen per step, and will make sure that you’re on track towards a good odds estimate each step of the way, correcting you if needed. We’ve provided info/help buttons for each sub-step.
You might be thinking, how can you cover a game as complex as Texas Hold’em in 20 scenarios? Well, we agree, you can’t! But this app is about learning a general method not many specific situations, and we picked these 20 scenarios to cover a good cross-section of common and important pre-flop and post-flop situations. If you understand how to calculate the odds for say one generic TopPair vs TopPairTopKicker scenario or one representative Pair vs LowerPair pre-flop scenario, you’ll be able to apply your knowledge to other similar situations easily.
Now, we’re not saying that you’re going to master this in 5 or 10 minutes. You’re going to have to practice the method more than a few times, think about the outs and counter-outs, and do simple math operations in your head - basic +, -, *, /; let’s not let our math teachers down :). We hope you feel that acquiring this odds skill and knowledge is more than worth the learning/practice time.

A little basic, could do with a few more questions including a few where your opponents cards are blind and hands including 3 or more playersplayers.Outs are cards that improve your hand to be the best.

This application is excellent.It is not for someone who hasn't read a book on poker. You need to understand what outs are and have read the basics about pot odds.If you have read a book or two and are at the stage of "I know that there are some betting decisions here, I just need the info to make them. How the hell do I calculate all of the things that I'm supposed to calculate?", then this app is fantastic. It REALLY simplifies the maths. If you can multiply by 4 you can grasp the maths.It also gives lots of examples of situations that you are likely to be in pre and post flop and walks you through step by step in coming to the answer. If you get the wrong answer it explains why. VERY VERY easy to understand language. I love it and I know that as my knowledge of the game improves, then I will get even more use out of it. So the guys that wrote the first few reviews should get poker for Dummies and one of the books that are recommended in the bibliography of that.
Not for the beginner

As previous reviews have stated that if you not have a good understanding of poker terminology then this is not the app for you. Being someone that does I can say that the app is very good if not a little uninformative but does get your brain thinking a lot more about the math.
It's ok

I understand it , however most of it involves knowing what your opponents cards are? I suppose you could ask your opponent what there cards are so that you can work out your equity, be warned they might refuse, it's ok though to work out your chances of improving your hands, I find that handy
Developer Response
Hello, Thanks for giving this app a try. Yes this app uses specific hand situations i.e. knowing your opponent's cards, but that's just for learning purposes. Yes in real life play we don’t know our opponents’ cards. However there’s still value in specific hand situations, because they’re the building blocks that we can use to put together and estimate the odds for more complex hand range situations. For example every good player should know the odds for specific hand situations like AJ vs. QQ pre-flop, or FlushDraw vs. TopPair on the flop. In real life play, we can think in our head e.g. "I think he either has TopPair here or a flush draw". Then our knowledge of the specific hand situations for TopPair and flush draw is valuable here, then we estimate e.g. I think he has TopPair 2/3 of the time and the flush draw 1/3 of the time, and we estimate the total "hand range" situation by averaging. It's not easy by any means to do in your head in real time under pressure in a real hand, but that's why knowing the odds for specific hand situations *cold* / automatic helps us a lot.
