Actually I'm mainly a billiard player. But I started to get interested in poker as well and want to pursue it. I was reading about calculating odds on the turn and river for cards that might make your hand.. but I was wondering, where can I find information on calculating the pref lop odds. Additionally, if I have, say a pair of 5's.. how do I calculate my odds then? Any information to point this newby in the right direction is helpful.

Thanks in advance!

p.s. this site is great and has a wealth of information.

later,
