# FlopKit

> FlopKit (https://flopkit.com/) is a free Texas Hold'em reference site: a printable and interactive cheat sheet for poker hand rankings, starting hands, betting rounds and pot odds. Every page is free to read with no sign-up; the cheat sheet prints or saves as a PDF from the browser.

Hand probabilities on FlopKit are for the best five-card hand from seven cards (two hole cards plus five board cards by the river), which is the real Texas Hold'em distribution, not the five-card-draw figures many charts quote.

These are FlopKit's editorial beginner categories, not solver-derived ranges for a specified player count or stack. Adjust for position, stack depth and opponents; the premium group is not an automatic re-raise range. The premium group has 100 of 1,326 combinations (7.5%). See https://flopkit.com/starting-hands/#applying-the-chart for the method.

## Pot odds: equity needed to call

Heads-up, when an opponent bets B into a pot of P, a call needs B / (P + 2B) equity to break even before rake, assuming no further betting. If the entered pot already includes the opponent's bet, use call / (pot + call).

- ¼ pot bet: 16.7% equity (5.0-to-1)
- ⅓ pot bet: 20.0% equity (4.0-to-1)
- ½ pot bet: 25.0% equity (3.0-to-1)
- ⅔ pot bet: 28.6% equity (2.5-to-1)
- ¾ pot bet: 30.0% equity (2.3-to-1)
- Pot bet: 33.3% equity (2.0-to-1)
- 1½× pot bet: 37.5% equity (1.7-to-1)
- 2× pot bet: 40.0% equity (1.5-to-1)

## Draw odds

- Gutshot straight (4 outs): 16.5% from flop to river, 8.7% from turn to river
- Open-ended straight (8 outs): 31.5% from flop to river, 17.4% from turn to river
- Flush draw (9 outs): 35.0% from flop to river, 19.6% from turn to river
- Flush + open-ender (15 outs): 54.1% from flop to river, 32.6% from turn to river

Flop-to-river figures cover two cards; turn-to-river figures cover one. On the flop, next-card probability is outs / 47 (nine outs: 19.1%); after a missed turn it is outs / 46 (nine outs: 19.6%). These figures assume no other known cards and unchanged outs.
Use two-card odds only when the call guarantees both remaining cards with no further betting. Draw completion is not showdown equity: a completed draw can still lose, and other cards may also let you win or tie. Future bets and rake affect the decision.
