Extra you expect to win when you hit (optional)

Enter a pot, a call above zero and an equity from 0 to 100.

Example: a flush draw facing half pot

Flop K♥Q♥ on J♥7♥2♣, the pot is 90 (including villain's 30 bet), you must call 30 and 500 is behind. A flush draw has 9 outs and hits about 35% by the river, so calling now is worth about +12 chips: the price is right on its own and nothing extra is needed. Change it to a gutshot (4 outs, about 16%) with the same pot and you need to win about 62 more chips later for the call to pay.

How to use

Pick a street (preflop, flop, turn) and tap a situation to fill in the numbers, or enter your own pot (including the opponent's bet), the amount to call and your equity, or tap a draw to fill in its hit chance. Add the chips behind after the call and the tool tells you how much more you need, what share of the chips behind that is, and whether it is realistic. Enter what you expect to win when you hit to see the EV with later winnings and the verdict; leave it empty and it assumes 30% of the chips behind.

Assumptions & limits

Extra needed = call ÷ equity − pot − call, never below 0; the pot includes the opponent's bet and excludes the call. Equity on the flop is the exact chance to hit with both cards to come (47 unseen cards), on the turn with one card (46), and preflop the chance to flop what a set-mining or suited-connector call is after. EV with later winnings = EV of calling now + equity × later winnings; when empty it assumes 30% of the chips behind. “Realistic / a stretch / unlikely” is cut at 30% and 60% of the chips behind, and more than the chips behind is impossible. The model leaves out reverse implied odds (hitting but losing to a better hand), a bet on the next street, blockers and opponent ranges. Situation chips use blinds 5/10 and 100 big blinds effective unless said otherwise.
