Overcards
An overcard is a card games on the flop that is higher than the highest card in your hand. It represent the threat that it has paired one of your opponent’s hole cards. If you have T♣ T ♥ then you definitely would not like a flop like K ♥ 8 ♦ 6♠ against six players. Any player betting in front of you is representing at least a pair of Kings. Whether or not he actually has a King is for you to figure out and it usually means you’ll have to fold your hand, even if you sometimes actually have the best hand at that point. You have to have an Ace in the pocket to not have to worry about an overcard, and that’s going to happen only 14.9% of the time. The X in the following table represents any card lower than the one named.
None, one, two and three means the chance of having exactly that many overcards come on the flop. For example, if you hold Q ♥ Q♣, there will be exactly two overcards (Aces or Kings) on the flop 6.0% of the time. The One or More column is simply the total of the one, two and three columns. Hold'em no limit . The column on the far right gives the odds of getting at least one overcard and not flopping a set when you hold a pair in the pocket. In other words, it gives the odds that you won’t like the flop |
