Fold equity is what turns possible to gauge how profitable we can be making an action for bluff, when I was a bad beginner player(nowadays I am just a bad not beginner player), I wont to bluff, but intuitively, I thought every time was time to bluff and couldn't bluff profitably, but discovering that tool we can learn a lot.

I started playing poker seriously this year and did not know there were so many math in poker. Yesterday afternoon I was reading about the fold equity and reaches the conclusion that we should risk more the higher the percentage of the pot regarding our stack. I will also continue analyzing it.

Greetings.

Important topic. It is very important to know the villain's tendency, stack size, and other information to use this technique. In fold freerolls the fold equity is very low.

very interesting this article, and without knowing about fold equity combined with your pot equity (Percentage share you have of winning the pot at that moment). we apply it to newspapers in the cash tables, because that is where we should apply this, since in the tournaments it is a long-term win but in an open table we always apply it, sincerely my name is called this article .. our poker is defined how do you make your bet and capitalize your money at the time of the action

these concepts are a bit complicated for me, I believe that many things are simpler in practice, but I will try to put them into practice, I will start with the semi bluff

Yes I agree. The theme of fold equity in poker is always combined from complex analyze situation at the table.
Fold equity into Cash Games are different thing then FE into MTTs. Different factors, different adjustments.


Poker is very complex game, the more I study it the more I understund I have alot to learn.

Fold equity is the chance of obtaining a fold after a re-raise a raise 3 4 Bet Bet until all when in more chance of pulling the pot for your move fold more profitable
However for that what counts is the ability to be misleading in semi bluffs or pure bluffs and the technique to play in a position to force a fold equity of the villain

The article is very interesting, I confess that I do not know anything about the fairness of the folds, I will try to investigate more on this subject. So far, what I do is very simple "I bet strong and I hope you retire"
