    Is there an odds calculator for Paddy Power Poker Texas Hold'em, like the Calculatum one or something similar. Free would be an added bonus.

    Also, how come most calculators need you to enter in opponent cards, this seems strange because you would never see their cards unless it was an All-In heads-up or something.

    Those calculators that require your opponents cards are used to calculate things after they have happened or are used for learning the odds in differnet situations.

    As an example lets assume you have AK and you're pretty sure your opponent has a low pair then you can use this to see what odds you are getting to determine if you should call or not. Similarly when your opponents 72o beats your AAo ;) all-in preflop you can cheeck the odds and relate them as part of your bad beat :d

    So these tools are not so useful while playing but as a learning tool.

    I think what you are looking for is different - it's more like a tool for telling you what to do on a given street. These tools may help beginners preflop but aren't all that useful postflop.

    When I used Calculatem Pro if I had 23o (or any hand with overcards on flop) and saw a flop but missed it always told me I had 6 outs. Thats when I started to have my doubts.

    Unless you have a really cool device that slows time for everyone but you then you wouldn't be able to use a calculator during a decision period anyhow. Also, what is it going to calculate odds against if you don't put in your opponents cards?
