    Can you please recommend odds calculators that can give win percentages while playing a game (if such a thing exists!!) I play on VC - hope thats not a problem?

    I'll be amazed if you get an answer to this one to be honest. Odds calculators work in one of two ways.

    1. You know all the exact cards involved. This is not going to be the case online during a hand.
    2. You enter hand ranges and the flop/turn cards. You will not have enough time to do this during a hand.

    Maybe I am wrong and there are other tools out there, but I would be surprised. Also, I believe they would be illegal under most sites T's&C's.

    I think he might be refferring to hand calculators i.e you have As10s on a 5s8sKh flop, the calculator works out your pot odds and the chances of hitting the flush, 1 pair, 2pair etc

    There is one for tribeca but its useless called pokerspy but its not a bad program overall. The reason i say its useless is because it only calculates your outs for the 2 cards together or is it the next card, im not sure and dosent calculate your pot odds.

    Poker office has a neat calculator, it displays your pot odds and outs odds on the poker table for you but it dosent work on tribeca unfortunately. If someone knows of another one that works on tribeca let me know too

    Think this is what your looking for. I don't use it but it seems to work on Tribeca as Blue square is quoted as one of the rooms supported.

    Looks good and ic compliant with VC. Can't find the cost anywhere on the site though. You can get it free by registering to Party or Pacific - played on party before and didn't like it.

    Anyone play on pacific and how does it rate?

    I may be wrong, but isn't that one illegal on most sites?

    I don't know but here's what its says on the site. And with loads of PR's offering it free as part of deposit bonuses i doubt it.

    Q: Is this cheating? Is Texas Calculatem™ disallowed by any Texas Hold Em poker room?
    A:It is not cheating. Texas Calculatem™ only passively watches your game, calculating odds and advice. It does not play Texas Hold Em for you, and therefore does not violate the rules or policies of any online Texas Hold Em poker room.

    This tool will give you poker odds. It does not use any information you don't already have. It does not read anyone else's cards, and does not share information with your opponents. It only makes calculated guesses.

    Poker pal (http://www.poker-pal.com/) also is in the same category. It's got a nice way of displaying outs if you play Stud for example. But they're all just for learning at the start really and much of the 'advice' they give should be taken with more than a grain of salt (also you wont have them when playing live of course, so it's worth getting in the habit of working without them if you ever play live).

    anyone know where i can get one for omaha?

    Its not exactly rocket science to figure how many outs you have and your percentages of hitting!

    Texas calculatem can be found if you ask your cousins, try with all of them.
