I’m looking for a Poker Calculator, buts there is a lot on the market. Now I already have a poker profiler (poker tracker) so I don’t need to get a calculator that has that feature. What I want is the best poker odds calculator out there that also shows mucked river cards. Like I said I don’t need the profiling ability, I was goanna get Holdem Indicator because of all the great reviews, but then realized that there main reasons to get it was because it had player profiling, I DONT NEED THAT!!!. So what would you guys recommend? What’s the most sophisticated software out there?

Honestly with odds calculations I would learn them yourself rather than rely on a program to do it for you. This will help you should you ever find yourself in a live game and you will actually be playing poker rather than playing numbers spat out by an odds calculator. But if you want to use one they are legal and that's fine, I just wouldn't recommend one when with minimal work you can create your own odds calculator for free. It's called a brain.

Agreed, I got a calculator in my head, mine may not be as exact as zach's is but its pretty accurate :) . I also suggest just playing and figuring them out in your head. At first its kind of hard but after you spend some time with this it will be just automatic.

PT shows mucked cards, why do you need a second program that also does this?

Just learn the odds, it's simple. 4x outs are the odds of hitting if you see 2 more cards, 2x outs are the odds of hitting if you see 1 more card. You don't really need to calculate out to 5 decimal places like Zach and his Cray like brain.

The way I do it is simple. 50 cards in the deck, the odds of any one of those cards hitting is 2% on the next card dealt. If there are 10 that will help me in the deck, then 10 times 2% = 20% chance the next card will be one of those. If I go all in on the flop (so I know for sure that I'll see 2 more cards) then 10 outs times 2% times 2 cards = 40% chance I'll hit.

Anything more accurate than that isn't necessary in the real world.
