Equity

[Iggykiddo]

Hello
How does this equity training program work?

Do I count my hand value as it will go in the third street on a show down or do I count my equity in this program like who of Villain and Hero got most equity on flop?

Like example below, I currently got 22,9% chance to win the hand on showdown or do I have a 22,9% chance that I got the best hand on flop?

The equity means that 22,9 % is your chance to win the hand on showdown against villain's range.
In this example villain's range has a significant edge on you.
In most situations you would not want to continue in this hand.

Thanks for your reply

So if we would go check check check or ALL IN from flop I would win with my hand 22,9% of the time?

I understand the equity change on the turn ofc.

As the above poster says.

Take care to focus on villain's range if you want to get anything out of it

poker knowledge

up until a few months ago i didn't know nor understand the term equity in poker, must say that poker knowledge has helped me improve drastically in poker on the whole, knowing when to fold, bluff, and overall knowing that all hands are 50/50. it takes skill to make a good player fold the best hand lol

Absolutly

the program tells you the percentage you have to get the best hand in the show down or rather the percentage you have to win, let's bear in mind that you do not know your opponent's hand so what the program does is a calculation of outs and pot odds

I am not sure you got the "pot odds" part of this right. There are no pot odds here, as equilab has no knowledge of pot size or bet size in this trainer.

How does this Equity training program work?....

This is simply the players chance of winning the hand at showdown. Equilab runs thousands (or millions) of simulations with various opponent cards and turns and rivers and gives you the result of times you would win if you get to showdown.

This is a very good trainer to build up your equity estimating skills. I would recommend to every one to test your skills by doing 10 or 20 tests a day, keep track of your results and see how close you really can get. I find it quite difficult to consistently be within 5% of the real number without using any software to do so. Being wrong helps us learn what we are missing and we can learn from that.

Good luck and God bless.

Absolute Difference is "Equity1 - Equity2". This is how far off our estimate was.
Relative Difference is the factored difference "(Equity1/Equity2) - 1.00". The is the % that one number is larger than the other.

Abs Diff.: 78.9 - 75.5 = 3.4
Rel. Diff: ( 78.9 / 75.5 ) - 1.0 = 4.5
