Equity is your share of the pot based on hand strength and future outcomes.
Explanation. Your equity represents the percentage of times you expect to win at showdown given current holdings and potential community cards. For example, AK vs 66 is roughly 46% equity. It’s calculated via simulation or combinatorics. Understanding equity is critical: you compare your equity to pot odds and implied odds to decide whether calling, raising, or folding is profitable in the long term.
