In my book it's the equity you gain by another player folding compensated for the chance he'll fold.

I read and understood your entire post. I think you technically know what fold equity means.

However, I would like to point out that I think fold equity is generally used only in situations where you want a fold. In other words, in situations where your pot equity is less than 50% (i.e. you are behind), you might factor in fold equity such that your overall equity (fold+pot) is now better than 50%, you will want to bet in that situation.

I agree.

If you want a call (i.e. your pot equity is more than 50%), I don't see how fold equity is a concern.

You want them to call instead of fold for better EV.

So in response to OP, I stated he no longer has fold equity which really means fold equity is not a concern for his strategy as he laid it out.
