The biggest mistake made by most card players is playing TOO MANY HANDS. For example, tell me if this thought has ever crossed your mind...


"It's worth calling the flop even though I have bad cards-- because who knows, I might catch three-of-a-kind... or two pair... or something really good!"


Every poker player has had this thought from time to time. Even the pros.



But the problem is, thinking like this will cause you to LOSE BIG TIME in the long run. And the reason is because of the ODDS. Even though you might make a "great hand" once in every twenty flops, those other nineteen hands will cause you to lose MORE than you won. When you are playing for fun, money is not involved… but you don’t want to lose your bragging rights!

So here's the thing:


The right odds calculator will show you EXACTLY how strong or weak your starting hand is... based on a PERCENTAGE and will show you the appropriate "Sklansky Starting Hand Group". What this means is you will IMMEDIATELY know how good your hand is, as soon as the cards come out.


For example, at a 10-man table pocket Aces has a hand rank of 100% and is GROUP 1. Pocket two's has a hand rank of 63.3%, which is in GROUP 7. (This is for hands to the river.)


But let's be honest... understanding how "good" those hands are is EASY. You don't need an odds calculator for that.


But let me ask you, which of THESE hands do you think has the highest "Hand Rank"?


a.) Queen-9 suited
b.) Ace-5 suited

c.) Jack-10 suited
d.) Ace-Queen offsuit


(Here's a hint... the strongest hand is NOT options "b" or "d"...)


Give up? Are you surprised that A-Q wasn't the strongest? Well, that's just ONE of the ways an odds calculator can be incredibly useful... you'll know the exact hand strength right away and can make a more educated (translation = MORE ADVANTAGEOUS IN THE END) decision before the flop.
