# Poker Outs and Equity Simulator Simulate Texas Hold'em equity against random opponents, estimate win and tie rates, and list next-card improvement outs > Canonical page: https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/poker-out-simulator - **Category:** Games - **Keywords:** poker, equity, outs, texas holdem, monte carlo, cards ## Overview Simulate Texas Hold'em equity against random opponents and list next-card improvement outs. Card notation: - Each card uses rank + suit, such as Ah, Ks, Td, 9c - Ranks: A, K, Q, J, T, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 - Suits: h = hearts, d = diamonds, c = clubs, s = spades - Hero cards: enter exactly 2 cards, for example Ah Kh - Community cards: enter 0 to 5 cards, for example Qh Jh 2c or Qh Jh 2c Td 9s Examples: - Flush draw: Ah Kh / Qh Jh 2c - Pocket pair: As Ad / 7c 8d 9h - Open-ended straight draw: 9s 8s / 7d 6c 2h ## Inputs - **Hero Hole Cards** (text): Enter exactly 2 hole cards separated by spaces. Format: rank + suit, for example Ah Kh, As Ad, 9c 9d. Ranks: A K Q J T 9-2. Suits: h hearts, d diamonds, c clubs, s spades. - **Community Cards** (text): Enter 0 to 5 board cards separated by spaces, for example Qh Jh 2c or Qh Jh 2c Td 9s. Use the same rank+suit notation as the hole cards field. - **Opponents** (number) - **Simulations** (number) ## When to use - Analyzing post-game Texas Hold'em hands to evaluate if calling or folding was mathematically correct based on equity. - Calculating your outs and equity on the flop or turn when holding drawing hands like flush draws or open-ended straight draws. - Studying pre-flop matchups against a variable number of random opponent hands to understand baseline pocket pair strength. ## How it works - Enter your two hero hole cards using standard rank and suit notation, such as Ah Kh for Ace and King of hearts. - Optionally input up to five community cards currently on the board, and select the number of opponents from 1 to 8. - Set the number of Monte Carlo simulations to run, then execute the simulator to calculate the win rate, tie rate, and total equity. ## Use cases - Evaluating flop equity with a flush draw to determine pot odds. - Simulating pre-flop pocket aces equity against a full table of eight random opponents. - Calculating turn equity and outs with an open-ended straight draw. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I format the cards in the simulator? Use a two-character notation for each card: the rank (A, K, Q, J, T, or 9-2) followed by the suit (h for hearts, d for diamonds, c for clubs, s for spades), separated by spaces. ### What is the difference between win rate and equity? Win rate is the percentage of simulated hands you win outright, while equity includes your win rate plus your share of split pots from tie rates. ### Can I simulate pre-flop equity with no community cards? Yes, you can leave the community cards field blank to calculate your pre-flop equity against random hands. ### How does the number of simulations affect the results? Higher simulation counts increase the statistical accuracy of the Monte Carlo calculation but may take slightly longer to process. ### Does this simulator support multiple specific opponent hands? No, this simulator calculates equity against random opponent hands rather than specific designated ranges. ## Related tools - [Deck Shuffler](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/deck-shuffler): Shuffle a standard deck of playing cards - [Tic-Tac-Toe](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/tic-tac-toe): Classic 3×3 tic-tac-toe against a random AI, an unbeatable minimax AI, or a friend.
