Poker outs chart

An out is a card that improves your hand to a likely winner. This chart shows your chance to hit at least one out.

Outs Example Flop to river (2 cards) Turn to river (1 card)
1 4.3% 2.2%
2 Pocket pair to a set 8.4% 4.3%
3 12.5% 6.5%

5 20.4% 10.9%
6 Two overcards 24.1% 13.0%
7 27.8% 15.2%
8 Open-ended straight draw 31.5% 17.4%
9 Flush draw 35.0% 19.6%
10 38.4% 21.7%
11 41.7% 23.9%
12 Flush draw + one overcard 45.0% 26.1%
13 48.1% 28.3%
14 51.2% 30.4%
15 Flush draw + open-ended straight draw 54.1% 32.6%

Rule of 2 and 4: for a quick estimate, multiply your outs by 4 on the flop (two cards to come) or by 2 on the turn (one card to come). Nine outs gives about 36% and 18%; the exact numbers are 35% and 19.6%.

How to use these numbers

Compare your chance to win with the price of the call. If you need 25% to call and you have 35%, the call pays in the long run. Read what are pot odds in poker for the full method, and check any hand in the poker odds calculator. Then play free Texas Hold’em online to practise.
