Default Thinking In Terms Of Equity At The Table

When reading through the FLHE forums I see alot of talk on equity vs. certain hand ranges. Now I know my odds & outs etc and would say I have atleast half-decent hand readin skills but have difficulty working out my approximate pot-equity whilst at the table.

Understanding that I have around 30% pot equity with 4 to a flush on an unpaired board is about as good as I get.

Does anyone have any tips/charts/links to help with this?

Thanks [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

No, you don't. Hands that seem like pure flush draws often have 38% equity against an overpair. It looks like you don't know the probability of a flush hitting, and you ignored the other ways to win.

Use PokerStove. Go through a lot of examples.

Ahhh.. is pokerstove free then?

Is there a quick way of (roughly) estimating your equity vs a given range based on your outs?

Yes there is a quick way. Use poker stove to test a hand vs a range of possible hands for villain. See what your equity is. do this for a number of typical hands and you will get a general sense of your equity for "typical" hands. That is the shortest way.
