Let's face it poker is a game full of bluffing, bold bets, and that glorious moment when you throw down your hand and see your opponent's soul leave their body. Let's be honest poker is not only about bravado and sunglasses it is also about strategies, skill, luck and mainly math.

EQUITY 101:

But what is equity? Why should players care about it? And how does it help in poker games?

First thing first let's know about it: Poker equity is mainly your share of pot  based on the probability of you winning the given point in the game.
Let me put it in a simpler way for you – let’s say you and your friend have participated in a pizza competition and the number of slices you get in the end is how many slices you will eat or your friend will eat. If you are half way through the contest that means you have eaten the most slices of pizza than anyone and you can confidently walk away with a lot of pizza. 
Now replace your pizzas with money and eating with card playing and you have got the idea of poker equity.
