Whether you’re deciding to bet, raise, or fold, recognizing the strength of your hand in relation to the board and your opponents' possible holdings gives you a strategic edge. It also helps you spot bluffs, avoid costly mistakes, and know when to push your advantage. In poker, knowledge is power—and knowing the odds turns luck into leverage.

The ultimate hand—Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten of the same suit. Unbeatable.
