What is Equity in online poker?

It simply means the potential of your poker hand in terms of winning the pot. Since poker is played in its live and online variants, the term equity in online poker refers strictly to its internet-based version.  

Why calculate equity in poker?

A game of poker often starts at pre-flop round with players sizing up their opponents. A poker pro always calculates his chances of playing because he has loads of professional experience to know the right move. If you are new to poker, then poker equity strategy is of great use for you as you can make better decisions during the game.

Equity analysis means to understand your poker hand strength and the situation at the tables anytime during the game. This ultimately helps you to plan how to proceed with the game.

Let’s take an example…

Suppose you have Ace of hearts, 4 of diamonds and your opponent has Jack of spades and King of hearts. At pre-flop, your pot equity is 58% (approx.) i.e. there are 58% chances of you winning the pot and your opponent has 42% (approx.) pot equity.

The flop takes place as follows: 10 of hearts, Ace of diamonds and 2 of spades. Your pot equity is now 81.3% (approx.) and your opponent has an equity of 18.7% (approx.). This is to imply that you can place your bets accordingly and seal the deal in your favour. This is how pot equity strategy works for you.

How to calculate equity in poker?

Calculating poker equity is simple and easy. You will find poker equity calculators online or can install a mobile App for the same. A poker equity calculator would ask you to select your cards and the community cards dealt to calculate poker equity for you.

We hope that you’ve gained familiarity with the concept of equity in online poker and how it works. You can go ahead and make better poker equity strategies against your opponents. We would also advise you to play poker only on trusted websites to further your journey of understanding the game.

May the Flop be with you!

History of Poker – The Godfather of Card Games

HISTORY OF POKER

So let’s travel back to the time, when the game of poker – the king of card games, was invented. The origin of poker, however, seems unclear. There are many stories that revolve around this game. It’s a common belief that poker games online dates back to the time when Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden. Also as per history, a card game was played of 52 cards in the year 1377. If we dig deeper, this game is said to be developed from the French game called “Poque” (known as the mother of modern poker). It was the national game of France and on the arrival of French Colonials in Canada, the fame of poker game began to spread worldwide.

Historians say, the origin of this game was prior to 10^th century, when Emperor Mu-Tsung and his wife played a domino-card game on the occasion of New Year’s Eve. This game was said to have blended elements of poker and mahjong. While in the 12^th and 13^th century, the Egyptians were enthusiastic about playing cards and 16^th century Persians invented Ganjifa (also known as a set of traditionally hand-painted treasure cards). Also, there was a historic and popular Persian game named “As Nas” which was similar to poker. The history of poker is much more than what meets the eye. Around the same time, a Spanish card game “Primero” became popular. This game involved three cards being dealt, to all those players who shall bluff or raise bets while having poor hands. This instance of bluffing in a card game is similar to that of in poker.

Simply put, the history of poker is an amalgamation of Chinese, Egyptian and French elements.
