Practical Poker Math

Before the Last Card
After the Turn card has hit the board, you have only 1 more
card to come and only 1 more chance to improve your hand.
With 1 card to come there are still 2 rounds of betting left
and in most limit games those rounds are at a higher stake
than the first two.
With the higher cost to continue and the hand mostly made,
players should have a precise strategy in order to remain
involved.
At this juncture players have 8 out of the 9 cards that will be
used to make both Low and High hands. The player should
have a very good idea of his chances:
1. That he is drawing dead in either or both directions
2. That he has the nuts or will make the nuts for
either or both the High or the Low
3. That he will be quartered or counterfeited for the
Low.
Odds of Improvement With Only 1 Card to Come
With only 1 card to come, some noteworthy points from the
table below include:
1. With a Low draw, you will make the Low roughly
36% of the time
