Poker Math That Matters

184
outs for 6% equity. Against 66, we are drawing dead.
There are 8 combinations of AT, and 3 combinations of
66. We can combine those for an estimated equity of
4%. So, we have 11 combinations where we have 4%
equity, and 32 combinations where we have 80% equity.
The drawing combinations are three times more likely
than the made hands. We have to find 3/4 of the way
from 4 to 80. I would just think of 3/4 of 80 and then
raise that number slightly. And, 3/4 of 80 is 60. So, I’d
estimate my equity to be in the lower 60s. If you
Pokerstove it, you'll find our equity to be 60%.
