You can see that equity is not a constant and can change significantly with every community card being dealt onto the board. If the turn brings one of the two remaining aces, your equity goes back up to 98%. This flop changes the situation and therefore your equity and you now only have 9% equity. Now there is a flop of and villain hits a set. If you are all-in pre-flop with AA against 22, there is an 82% chance that you will win the pot at showdown. Here's a simulation of all possible combinations of community cards:Īs you can see, you will win 82% of the time.
That's why there are special tools such as Equilab which lend you a helping hand to get the job done.Įxample: You are all-in pre-flop holding aces with villain holding deuces. There are more than 1.7 million possible combinations for the five community cards, which means that you can't do the simulation by hand. In a simulation of a flop spot, you include all possible turn and river cards into your calculation.
When we do a simulation of a pre-flop situation, we look at all possible flop, turn and river cards. The percentage of how often your hand or range wins at showdown is your equity. In order to get your equity right, you have to do a simulation of all community cards that haven't been dealt yet and count all possible results at showdown. If the board runs out in such a way that a split pot becomes a possibility, the likelihood of this case will be added evenly to all players' ranges.Įquity is a percentage that indicates how often your hand or range is ahead of your opponent's hand or range at showdown. The equities of all players always add up to 100%. This means that you could have 0% equity and never win against your opponent's range or you could have 100% equity and always win against villain's range. Now it's time to learn more about an application of this concept: Equity.Įquity is a percentage value that indicates how often your hand or range is ahead of your opponent's hand or range at showdown.Įquity is always a number between 0% and 100%. You already know what a range is and how to write it down.
