Poker Odds Flush Draw After Flop
But, now that I’ve said that, here’s a time you can profitably bet a flush draw — as long as you don’t overuse the tactic. It’s one of my favorite hold ’em plays that you can use quite often without opponents adapting. You have a flush draw on the flop — two of your suit in your hand, two on the board. You’re last to act. Seeing two suited cards will tempt you to play 9-4, but the odds Are 2.5%, which isn’t great. There’s a 32.43% chance of making a pair during the flop, and the same odds apply to higher hole cards. Flush Draw Odds In Texas Hold’em. The odds of getting a flush after the flop is 34.97%, so there’s a one in three chance here! You have nine outs making the odds of hitting your flush 4.22 to 1 on the turn. The pot odds are 5 to 1, so you should call. You have to call 100 for a chance to win 500. In the same no limit Texas Hold’em game you have an open-ended straight draw on the flop. Well the flop has missed your powerful Ace-King but you have added a very powerful draw with a spade flush draw, a straight flush draw and a gutshot straight draw. You were the aggressor before the flop and so you come out betting after the flop with a pot sized bet trying to show your opponent that you are still strong and that you mean business.
The odds below represent the mathematical probability of one of these specific events occurring after the flop, or “post flop”. You can use these post flop odds along with the Best Texas Hold’em Starting Hands to help determine your best play in a given situation.

Percentage table key.
- Gutshot - A straight draw with only one card able to complete it. e.g. 6-8 on a 5-9-Q board (only a 7 completes).
- Straight - A standard open-ended straight draw with more outs. e.g. 6-8 on a 5-7-Q board (4 and 9 complete).
- Flush - A hand where another card of the same suit is needed to complete the draw.
- s + f - Both an open ended straight draw and flush combined. e.g. 6 8 on a 5 7 Q board.
How to use the percentage odds chart.
- Work out the number of outs you have (use the colours to help guide you).
- Look up the percentage odds of completing your draw depending on whether you are on the flop or turn.
That's simple enough, but why are there 2 columns for percentage odds on the flop? The first 2 columns with 1 card to come are the odds that you should be using most frequently. These are the standard odds that assume we could potentially face another bet on the next betting round.
The last 2 cards to come column is for when you or your opponent are being placed all in on the flop. Therefore, because you do not expect to have to call another bet or raise on future betting rounds, you can now use these improved odds for seeing 2 cards instead of 1.
If you can't remember or figure out the percentage odds of completing your draw in the middle of hand, try using the rule of 4 and 2 as a rough guide. It's a great little shortcut for percentage odds.
How to turn a percentage in to a ratio.
Divide 100 by the percentage. Then take 1 away from that number and you will have x to 1.
So for example, if you have a flush draw on the turn, the percentage chance of completing your draw is 19.6% (let's call it 20%).
- 100 / 20 = 5.
- 5 - 1 = 4.
- So the ratio is 4 to 1.
It is a good idea to round the percentages to a number that you can easily divide in to 100 to help keep the working out as simple as possible.
Quick percentage odds chart example.
If you have 12 outs to make the winning hand on the flop, you should only call a bet that is equal to 25.5% of the total pot, which is roughly 25%.
So for example, lets say that our opponent has bet $50 in to a $100 pot making it $150. Because we are using the percentage method, we have to add our own potential call of $50 to create a total pot size of $200 - don't forget this! Therefore, based on this final pot size of $200 we can call up to 25% of this amount, which turns out to be $50 anyway. It's a bit tricky, but just as long as you add your own potential call to create the final pot size you will be fine.
