PLO Equity Calculator

Equity is your share of the pot if the hand were run to the river right now, repeated over every possible runout. If you have 62% equity in a $100 pot, your slice is worth $62 on average, even though any single hand ends with you winning all of it or none of it.

Win % and equity are not the same number. Win % counts only the boards you scoop outright. Equity also credits you for chopped pots, so a two-way split adds half a pot rather than nothing. In Omaha, where hands collide far more often than in Hold'em, that gap matters, which is why equity is the first column in the results.

With a flop, turn or river on the table, this tool walks through every single remaining runout and counts the outcomes, so those numbers are exact rather than sampled. Preflop the number of possible boards is enormous, so it runs a large random simulation instead. The status line under the calculator always tells you which method produced the number you are looking at.

If you want the Hold'em equivalents, the Calculadora de Odds de Poker handles specific Hold'em hands and the Calculadora de Equity Rango vs Rango compares whole ranges.

This single rule is what separates Omaha from Hold'em, and it is the one newer players misread most often. Your final hand is always built from exactly two of your hole cards and exactly three community cards. There is no option to use one, three or four of your own cards, and there is no playing the board.

The practical consequences are sharp. A single high card of a suit is not a flush draw when three of that suit are already out, because you would need a second card of that suit in your own hand. A board that pairs does not give you a full house just because you hold one matching card. And a straight on the board does not save you, because you still have to use two cards from your hand.

Because the calculator builds every legal two-plus-three combination and takes the best one, you never have to police this yourself. It is also why an Omaha hand can look enormous and still be behind: the cards have to combine legally, not just exist. New to the terminology? The glosario de poker explains the vocabulary, and our introduction to Pot-Limit Omaha covers the basics of the game.

Preflop Omaha equities are famously flat. Four or more hole cards mean everybody has something, so the gap between the best and worst starting hands is much smaller than in Hold'em. A strong double-suited hand is usually a modest favourite rather than a crushing one, and that is exactly why pot-limit betting and position matter so much.

Postflop, the picture changes fast. Once three community cards are out, wraps, nut flush draws and redraws can swing a hand from behind to a clear favourite in a single card. Running the same two hands preflop, then on the flop, then on the turn is the quickest way to see how much Omaha equity moves.
