There are a variety of ways to calculate the odds of any given poker hand, but the easiest way to think about it is to break down the hands into two categories: fair and unfair.
Fair hands are hands that have an equal chance of being drawn. For example, A-K-Q-J-10 is a fair hand because it has the same chance of being drawn as any other card in that order.
Unfair hands are hands that have an advantage over other hands. For example, A-Q-J-10 is an unfair hand because it has an advantage over K-Q-J-10.
The odds of any given poker hand are determined by multiplying the number of cards in that hand by the number of possible combinations (26). So, for example, if you have A-K-Q-J-10, your odds are 2/9 (or 2.
33%).
