a post about pot equity

[Felipe]

I'd like to know what pot equity. Somebody want to explain it? Or can someone point me to a post (a URL link) with the explanation. Thanks

Hey Filipe,

You might consider Google for these kinds of questions.

Equity
Your "rightful" share of a pot. If the pot contains $80, and you have a 50% chance of winning it, you have $40 equity in the pot. This term is somewhat fanciful since you will either win $80 or $0, but it gives you an idea of how much you can "expect" to win.

So far you've posted that you won $1000 playing 10/20 and 15/30 in a $200 BR, then you couldn't beat the .5/1 games at Party, now you don't know what pot equity is? I think you're really going backwards here. Also, you had another post that said you read SSH, that book talks a lot about pot equity, so why not look in there?

Felipe, I asked this question a few days ago where others went into detail on pot and folding equity. Search around on the Poker theory thread for a "folding equity" post.
