Re: Equity Formula
The way I think of pot equity is in terms of how much of the pot I expect to win. ( this can be in $ or bet size ) The best example is if I flop a nut flush draw with four people in the pot, and bet out, if everyone calls I will have invested 20% of the pot with a 35% chance of winning. My pot equity is 20% but my pot equity edge becomes 15%, the difference between my equity and the chance of making my hand. This is called a +EV play to bet into the field rather than check and call, depending on the amount of callers. In this situation as long as two other people called I would be breaking even. Whew!
