Re: Can someone define Fold Equity, Pot Equity and Hand Equity
When discussing pot equity, it's always with reference to a particular moment and a particular state of information.
For example, suppose you're playing 15/30 LHE (no rake). You have black AA and open-raise; only the big blind calls. (Pot size: $70.) The flop comes Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. At the end of the hand, you find out that your opponent flopped a straight with JT.
Both of the following statements are correct:
"When the flop came down, based on the information you had at the time, your pot equity was around $55 to $60."
"When the flop came down, based on what your opponent actually held, your pot equity was $2.31."
