There are more than 1.7 million possible combinations for the five community cards, which means that you can't do the simulation by hand. In a simulation of a flop spot, you include all possible turn and river cards into your calculation. When we do a simulation of a pre-flop situation, we look at all possible flop, turn and river cards. The percentage of how often your hand or range wins at showdown is your equity. In order to get your equity right, you have to do a simulation of all community cards that haven't been dealt yet and count all possible results at showdown. If the board runs out in such a way that a split pot becomes a possibility, the likelihood of this case will be added evenly to all players' ranges.Įquity is a percentage that indicates how often your hand or range is ahead of your opponent's hand or range at showdown. The equities of all players always add up to 100%. This means that you could have 0% equity and never win against your opponent's range or you could have 100% equity and always win against villain's range.

Now it's time to learn more about an application of this concept: Equity.Įquity is a percentage value that indicates how often your hand or range is ahead of your opponent's hand or range at showdown.Įquity is always a number between 0% and 100%.
