Outs are the number of cards in the deck that turn your hand into a winner. Every serious poker player must memorize these numbers — they're the foundation of every call, fold, or semi-bluff decision. Here you'll find the complete table, the 4/2 rule, and a link to a live calculator.

| Flush Draw | 9 | 35% |

On the flop (2 cards to come): Outs × 4 = approximate equity percentage.
On the turn (1 card): Outs × 2 = approximate equity percentage.
Example: Flush Draw = 9 outs → 36% from flop, 18% from turn. Close to reality (actual: 35% and 19.6%).

Anti-Outs look like outs but actually build you a losing hand. Example: you hold J♠T♠ on 9♠8♠2♥. The Q♠ looks like an out for Straight + Flush — but if opponent holds A♠K♥, they get a stronger Backdoor Flush. Always ask: "Does my out also help the opponent?"
Sometimes you have outs you don\'t immediately see — like Backdoor Flush Draw (2 suited cards on the flop, needing 2 more). These give ~4% equity each. Pros count them, amateurs don\'t. See also full EV calculation.
