Poker odds charts help you to determine how much you can call when trying to complete a drawing hand, such as a flush or a straight draw. By comparing your pot odds with the odds of completing your draw, you can work out whether or not it will be profitable to call certain sized bets from your opponents.

It is perfectly possible to work out the odds of completing a draw in your head, but these odds charts make things much easier if you are looking for a quick reference or if you're just starting out.

Isildur's $6.5million monthly paycheck
Viktor ‘Isildur1' Blom is the natural place to start when discussing the most amazing runs in highstakes online cash game poker.
The Swede blasted his way through the ranks as an anonymous teenager in the late noughties.
Winning Poker Hands
His first tilt at the nosebleed games on Full Tilt in October 2009 saw him quickly lose $1million, but within the month he had reversed that – topping out at $5.46million!
We'll see how that money disappeared when we get to Brian Hastings bio, but from the graph above you can see that Blom – by this time outed as the man behind the Isildur1 account – almost reproduced that amazing month in late 2012.
His 2009 battles featured this monster PLO pot against Phil Ivey, showing that $million swings could happen in seconds in the rail heaven days on Full Tilt.

You can't mention Phil Ivey and leave it with one huge losing hand of course. After all, nobody won more than the now 43-year old Californian in the online nosebleed cash games. Casino jeux marseille prado.
That's four years and a total of $19,242,744 profit, working out at a massive $60 per hand for Ivey, and his own biggest single winning pot was a revenge of sorts against Isildur1…

Ivey flushes out Blom to scoop $832,940 pot
The year 2009 on Full Tilt was the when the stakes were highest, the play as loose and free as you'll ever see, and where fortunes were won and lost in single sessions.
Hastings takes Isildur to the cleaners
Tuesday December 8th 2009 is one of those dates that poker players don't know, but most certainly now about. It's the day that Isildur1 had his entire bankroll cleaned out by Brian Hastings.
Here's how we reported it the following day: ‘It seemed to be another massive day for Isildur1, winning $471K from Jungleman12 at $100/$200 NLHE and $722K from Brian Townsend at $500/$1000 PLO. He stayed well in the green all throughout the period, even peaking as high as $2M, but things were about to change.
In steps Brian Hastings, and from then on Isildur1 seemed to fall into a bottomless pit. Over the course of the next 2858 hands, he lost an astounding $4.2 million dollars, and it was clear from the comments he made in the chat, that he thought he was caught in a parallel universe or something.'
That parallel universe was because Hastings had teamed up with Brian Townsend and Cole South to dissect Isildur's hand histories – which they should never have had in the first place.
