New to poker? What is this, in plain English
Today's featured hand, played out 10,000 times against the same opponent range, so you can see how often you actually win the pot.
Why it exists
Reading 'you have 62% equity' is abstract. Watching the hand resolve hundreds of times and counting the wins is concrete. It also shows you which board cards turn a winner into a loser.
The jargon you will see
- Equity
- Your share of the pot if all remaining cards came out and the hand went to showdown without any more betting. A coin flip is 50% equity.
- Showdown
- When all the cards are dealt and the players reveal their hands to see who wins.
- Monte Carlo simulation
- A computer plays the same hand thousands of times with different random cards and counts the results. The more times it runs, the more accurate the win-rate estimate.
- Board
- The five community cards everyone shares: three at once (the flop), then one (the turn), then one (the river).
If this is your first time
You do not need to know how to play. Just watch the simulation run and read the summary. The point is to feel how often hands actually win, not just what the chart says.
