Counting Outs in Poker

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

Learning to count outs in poker is one of the most important and fundamental tools in a poker player’s conception of the game. An ‘out’ is defined as the cards required to win the hand, which can vary, obviously, depending on what the other player holds. The general process of assigning an opponent to a range of hands and then building off that assumption, though, makes the idea of counting your outs vital to understanding the value of your hand in relation to the size of the pot.

Counting outs varies fairly widely but here are some examples of out computations. If you think that the only way you can win a poker hand is to make a flush, and you have four to the flush in your hand using the board cards, there are then 9 of the suit left in the deck, giving you nine outs.

If you have a top pair on the board with a low kicker and think your opponent might have that top pair also with a better kicker, you have three of that kicker left in the deck, giving you three outs. If instead of the top pair your opponent has an overpair, and you can then hit either of your hole cards to win, you can hit either of your 3 kickers remaining or one of the other of the cards paired on board, giving you 5 outs.

To compute the percentage of winning, in general on the turn you can multiply your outs by 4 for a rough percentage of your outs to win with two cards to come, and with one to come you can multiply by 2. Thus if on the flop you have 9 outs, you are a 36% chance to win, and if you miss on the turn you are an 18% chance to win, etc.

World Series of Poker History

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

If you have ever heard of the World Series of Poker you might have wondered how and when it actually all began. Officially beginning in 1970, the WSOP actually started off a year or two earlier as “The Texas Gamblers Reunion” pioneered by Tom Moore, owner of the Holiday Casino. At the Texas Gamblers Reunion, three well known poker players, Jimmy Synder, Rudy Wanderone, and Benny Binion battled it on the poker table for the chance to win a huge cash pool. The Texas Gamblers Reunion was technically the first World Series of Poker. However, the next year, Moore declined to host the WSOP again at the Holiday Casino. However, Benny Binion saw Moore’s missed opportunity and capitalized on the chance to broaden the appeal of the WSOP and to expand the recognition around the states.

Finally, in 1973, the WSOP got massive coverage through CBS and they even created a WSOP documentary to air to the general US audience. Of course, with higher publicity, comes higher prize pools and the chance to earn some serious money. That is how the WSOP started. However, the advent of online poker in the future catapulted the popularity of the WSOP and built a community of loyal online poker players and also diehard fans.
