Pot Equity
I just download PokerStove, and I'm starting to mess with it. I found this statement at their website.
The values generated are all-in equity values. This is not the chance that a hand will win the pot. Rather it is the fraction of the pot that a hand will win on average over many repeated trials, including split pots. The equity for a hand is calculated by dividing the number of "pots" that the hand won by the number outcomes considered. I thought when we talked about pot equity, it was the number of times I'm good in the hand...looks like I many have this wrong. So, if I have 75% equity in a hand, I can't say I'm going to win 3 out of 4 times? |

Re: Pot Equity
My understanding in regards to pot equity is what percentage of the pot you're going to win not necessarily your win % rate. Therefore with split pots etc your pot equity lowers.

Re: Pot Equity
In most cases your pot equity is close to your win rate. But as the chances of a tie increase, this approximation becomes less accurate.
