I have a couple of questions regarding equity.
Firstly, is total equity simply (the equity of my hand against an opponents range) + (the fold equity) .
So equity against an opponents range can be determined by using pokerstove.
Is fold equity simply the percentage of folds the villian likely to make against the next bet.
So may opponent folds preflop 33% of the time against a 3 bet then do I use 33%. If he calls then is the fold equity then the percentage that he will fold on the flop.
Now, if my hand has 25% value equity and 35% fold equity I have 60% equity... what do I actually do with that infomation? How does it effect my bet size etc etc.
