These things are simply everywhere, and while they come in varying degrees of usefulness, consistency and quality, one thing is certain. When you "sit down" at that online table none of the other players will know whether you are using a poker hand odds calculator or not. To be clear, using a poker hand odds calculator is not cheating. Knowing the odds of a particular hand is crucial to a winning poker game. However such knowledge comes with time and a poker hand odds calculator is but one tool to help you gain that knowledge.It is commonly said that winning at poker is more about playing the people than anything else. While that statement is true it does not tell the entire story. "Playing the players" is impossible when the game itself seems like a series of utterly random events. The fact of the matter is that there is a great deal of math operating in every poker game, and it is math which dictates that at a table of so many people a poker hand of such and such cards will have a certain percentage chance of closing, and winning the round.
