0:00 Equity Question 0:57 The 4-2 Rule 3:53 Should I Just Fold? 6:25 Work On Your Math Skills With My Workbook Joe asks: Let's say I am holding QJo in position heads up in a 3-bet pot and the flop comes 2h 5c 9s. Opponent bets 1/2 pot, giving me 3:1 odds. With 2 overcards, I have 24% equity to make top pair by the river. Here's where I'm confused: He's offering me the 3:1 odds to see the turn, but my equity is only close if I consider both the turn and the river. So if my odds of hitting on the turn are roughly 12%, do I have to fold to the bet on the flop? I go over a common misconception between pot odds and equity when you don't account for your opponents possible range and whether we should continue even if our odds don't justify it. #potodds and #equity *MY WORKBOOK ON POKER MATH* · https://www.splitsuit.com/poker-preflop-math-workbook *RELATED LINKS* · https://www.splitsuit.com/implied-odds-poker · https://www.splitsuit.com/easy-poker-pot-odds · https://www.thepokerbank.com/strategy/mathematics/pot-odds/4-2/ *FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL* · Twitter: https://twitter.com/splitsuit · Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/splitsuit · Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/splitsuit
