Re: Pot Equity
[ QUOTE ]
You know when you watch TV and you see a percentage given to each player in the hand. That is pot equity. It's a little more difficult to judge at the table when you don't know your opponents' hole cards, but if you did, you could determine your pot equity exactly. An application of pot equity in play is to raise draws for value that have a better chance to win a showdown than the average hand. For instance, if you have a nut flush draw (four flush on the flop), you'll catch it by the river 35% of the time. You can raise for value if you have 3 or more opponents. The average share of the pot with 4 players in the pot is 25%. Basically, you earn for every extra flop bet that goes in.

so pot equity is important to know when your drawing to the nuts ( you dont know your opponents hole cards).
you wouldnt raise a draw to bottom two pair on a flop against 6 opponents?
