Welcome to TurningRiver.com. We understand that poker is a game played between people, and that in order to succeed you have to "play the person". But, we also realize that at the end of any showdown, the best hand wins. So you need to "play the cards" as well.
There are a lot of situations in today's popular poker games (like Texas Holdem and Omaha) where newer players are not sure if the odds are in their favor or not. Good poker players know the odds. So, we've put together several Hand Calculators that give the winning percentages for any given set of starting hands and board cards.
Use a Poker Hand Calculator to . . .
Find out the true odds of a given situation. It's easy to be misled into thinking that hands like pocket Aces are always heavy favorites. Plug in several starting hands against pocket Aces, and see what your advantage really is. How does tht advantage change when there are more people in the hand? Knowing the real odds can help you rethink the way you would play a hand.
Check your work, so to speak. Next time you play a hand where you think you must have been a 5 to 1 favorite, but were robbed by the river, find out what the odds really were. Take your hand history, and enter the information into the hand calculator. Begin with the starting hands, and see the odds of winning. Add the flop cards to the table, and see how things change. Watch your chances of winning increase or decrease as the hand progresses.

Do not simulate hands, they "enumerate" hands. That means we consider every possible hand, once. Our results are more accurate, and do not change, unlike some online poker calculators.
Are simple to use. No typing in cryptic codes that need to be properly formatted for the calculator to work. Simply drag the cards in place, and click on the "calculate" button. Never touch the keyboard.
They display both the percentage of hands won, and the percentage of hands tied. We know that there is a big difference between splitting the pot, and scooping the pot.
You download our calculators, and can use them offline. No need for dial-up users to tie up phone lines, and laptop users can take the calculators with them and use them from anywhere.
Best of all, our calculators are free. This is certainly a situation where you get more than you pay for. For screenshots and to download, simply click on the calculator of your choice under the "Downloads" section on the left.
