Default Re: Equity Formula

i think your wrong. the odds of making your hand is your pot odds, but that's not what he asked. pot equity is not dependent in any way on each player having equal hands. ex... if i have a nut flush draw in a 5 way pot, then i have 20% pot equity and 35% chance to hit my draw. that gives me a 15% pot equity advantage. however, that doesn't change the fact that i represent 20% of the pot.

No, that isn't what pot equity is. One concept of pot equity is, suppose everyone turned their hand face-up and agreed to divide up the pot; what would be the fairest split?
