to work out pot equity -
pot size plus call 258+143=401 so then you do the following - 143 divide by 401=35.66
that is equity to call %35.66
another way of doing it - 258/143=1.804to1 1/2.804=35.66
that is your pot equity not 43.7
so i want %35.66 equity or better in pokerstove to make it a profitable call
if you put in the board 3s4sTc9d my hand KsQs
and give villian a range like this - JJ,88-33,ATs,JTs,T9s,ATo,KTo,QTo+,JTo,T9o
my equity is %39.87 or putting into odds i need 60.13/39.87=1.5to1 or better to call ,,as we know we are getting 1.8to1 so its a straight forward call for this player.
again if this was a solid TAG player shoving the turn 2 pair or better its a fold for me. [please dont ask about fold equity lmao ]
examples to work out pot equity - pre-flop shove
blinds 100/200
vilian shoves pre-flop 1590
pot size now = 1890
call - 1590
1890 divided by 1590 = 1.18to1 add 1 to odds = 2.18
now divide 1 by 2.18 times 100 = %45.87 equity to call
you have KQs
not much info on villian , so we give a fairly tight range of - 88+ AJs+ KQs AJo+ KQo
result - pokerstove shows us we are %38.11 [1.62to1] to villians range we are getting %45.87 [1.18to1] in this situation so its a easy fold........
example- pre-flop shove with odds to call
our hand JJ
villian short stack only 8 big blinds left - range is any ace,any pair,any broadway hand
blinds 200/400 antes 50 9 handed
villian shoves 3200
pot size now - 4250
we are on the button and we call 3200 the blinds fold
our equity here is - 4250 divided by 3200 = 1.32 to 1 1/2.32 x100 = %43.10
JJ versus villians range in pokerstove is %67.31 its a easy call
hope this helps you biffa85........any questions , fire away
