Professional Poker Equity Calculator for Micro-Stakes Players
PostflopCalc is a comprehensive poker equity calculator designed specifically for micro-stakes cash game players (NL2, NL5, NL10, NL25, NL50). Unlike generic poker calculators, our tool accounts for rake structure impact on your pot odds and expected value (EV), giving you mathematically precise decisions for profitable postflop play.
Calculate your exact winning percentage on the flop or turn with custom out builders for flush draws, straight draws, and combination draws.
Account for 5% rake caps (capped and uncapped) to see your true profitability. Most calculators ignore rake - we don't.
Get exploitative recommendations against Nits, TAGs, LAGs, and Calling Stations based on implied odds adjustments.
Calculate proper stakes based on your bankroll with conservative, standard, or aggressive risk tolerance settings.
Short-stack push/fold ranges for BTN, SB, CO positions when effective stacks are 10-15BB.
Track your decisions with built-in logging to review your equity calculations and improve over time.

Input the current pot size in big blinds (BB) and the bet you're facing. For example, if the pot is 10BB and villain bets 5BB, enter those values.
Choose from preset draws (flush draw = 9 outs, open-ended straight = 8 outs) or use the Outs Builder to create custom combinations like flush draw + gutshot.
Select your poker site's rake structure. Most micro-stakes rooms use 5% rake capped at 3BB. This significantly impacts your pot odds calculations.
The calculator will show if you should call, fold, or consider implied odds. Green = profitable call, Red = fold, Yellow = borderline (implied odds needed).
Postflop equity is the percentage chance your hand will win by the river. For example, a flush draw on the flop has approximately 35% equity to make the flush by the river (assuming 9 clean outs).
Rake reduces the effective pot size, making calls less profitable. If the pot is 30BB but 1.5BB is taken as rake, you're only winning 28.5BB, which increases the pot odds percentage you need to profitably call.
Outs are cards that will improve your hand to (likely) the winning hand. A flush draw has 9 outs (the remaining cards of your suit), while an open-ended straight draw has 8 outs.
Conservative players should have 50-75 buy-ins, standard is 30-40, and aggressive is 20-25. For micro-stakes (NL2-NL10), we recommend at least 40 buy-ins to handle variance.
Nash Equilibrium represents the mathematically optimal push/fold strategy when playing short-stacked (typically under 15BB). These ranges are unexploitable in heads-up situations.
