Default Re: pot equity

My answer is about pot equity in general. Download the program and you can work out your pot equity in any situation.

My 20% answer is general too, I'm using your example to explain that you are confused about the concept. Your pot equity does not increase proportionally at all it depends on the range of the callers. Eg if someone only calls with AA then you equity with jacks will decrease by a large amount if he's one of the callers. But if someone only calls with J2o then your equity will only decrease by a v. small amount if he calls (obv these are terrible estimates of ranges, but I'm just using it as an example. A more realistic range for a tight limper is ATs AJ+ KQs 77+). Do you understand? Get the program and play around. Your equity is a function of the possible hands that your opponents hold (and yours). Hope this is more clear [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
