Poker Outs pre-flop?

Question

How do I calculate my outs or percentages of getting my out before the flop. I already know how to get them after the flop, so just pre-flop please

Answer 1

You don't really have "outs" before the flop since the flop is so important.

If you mean the odds of you hitting a specific hand on the flop, there are odds calculators out there.

The 3rd section in the odds chart is hitting certain hands on the flop.

Answer 2

use an online odds calculator, cardplayer.com has a good one

Answer 3

You don't have "outs" pre-flop.

Answer 4

Pre-flop you really don't have outs you have a percentage that you will improve your hand.  That doesn't even mean that you will improve to the best hand.  For example if you have a pair of 8s, pre-flop you are aprox  8-1 to make a set.  That is only 1 in every 9 times you will hit it.  Roughly 11%.  

The probablities for all the hand combinations are too many to list, but there are hundreds of resources you can find.  The best resource I found was Stats and Probabilities 101 at the community college.  You'd be amazed how much that class relates to poker.
