Poker · Equity
Being ahead is not winning.
Pick two hands and we simulate 25,000 board run-outs to give you the real equity of each. You will see that "the best hand" is almost never as big a favorite as it looks.
The idea
The favorite loses too, and often.
A pair against two overcards is a classic coin flip: 55-45. Ace-King against a lower pair loses almost half the time. Understanding real equity cures the most common frustration in poker — losing while "ahead" is not bad luck, it is the norm.
Hand versus hand
Pick the four cards and we simulate 25,000 boards.
Hand 1
Hand 2
Preflop equity is only the starting point: today's favourite may be 55%-45%, not 90%. In poker, being 'ahead' rarely means being far ahead — which is why one hand says nothing and a thousand say everything.
