Import

const poker = require('poker-calculations');

ESM (Node):

import { createRequire } from 'module';

When to use

Quantify how much extra you must win on later streets when your current-street call equity alone is below breakeven—implied odds in chip terms. Compare the result to realistic future winnings when chasing draws.

How to use

const pot = 80;
const toCall = 40;
const equity = 0.18; // below breakeven now

const need = poker.impliedBreakevenFutureWin(pot, toCall, equity);
console.log('extra future win needed:', need);

const be = poker.breakevenCallEquity(pot, toCall);
console.log('breakeven without implied:', be);
