Big O poker calculator

This Big O poker calculator splits each pot the way five-card Omaha does: half to the best high hand, half to the best eight-or-better low, quartered when lows tie. It shows each hand's , how often it wins each half and how often it . A toggle switches to four-card PLO8.

Lesson: Work out the price of a call (needs an invite). In the glossary: Hi-lo (eight or better), Scoop, Omaha (PLO). How the numbers are made.

How to use it

Press a card slot and pick its card from the deck, for two to six hands and up to five board cards. Equity is your average share of the pot, with high and low halves and quartered pots counted. Low wins include ties for the low, which pay a quarter of the pot each. The note under the table says how often any hand makes a low.

A worked example

The page opens on A-2-3 with a king and a queen against a jack-high rundown. Before the flop the A-2-3 hand is worth 59.5% of the pot, mostly from the low: holding three of the four lowest ranks, it has the best low draw on most boards. Deal a flop of 4♥ 5♣ 9♠: only two low cards, so a low needs one more on the turn or river, which happens 74% of the time. The A-2-3 hand now has 63.3%.

The rules the calculator follows

Both halves use exactly two hole cards and three board cards. A low is five different ranks from ace to eight, so it needs at least three different low cards on the board; with fewer, the high hand takes it all. Straights and flushes do not spoil a low, so A-2-3-4-5 is the best low and can win the high too. For high-only games use the Omaha calculator.
