Slot 2: find-the-nuts
The nuts on this board.
- Board: Ad, 9h, Qs, 8h, 3h
- The nuts: Kh, Ah
- Why: A flush — no other two-card holding beats this board.
Slot 3: equity
True equity: 87.9%.
- Your hand: As, Kd
- Villain: Td, Ks
- Flop: 2h, 5c, 8s
- Rule of thumb: Each out is worth about 4% equity on the flop — useful for estimating a draw's equity at a glance.
Slot 4: pot-odds
Correct action: Fold.
- Pot: 8 BB
- Bet: 5 BB
- To call: 5 BB
- Required equity: call / (pot + bet + call) = 5 / (8 + 5 + 5) = 5/18 = 27.8%
- Your hand: Kd, 7s
- Villain: Qs, Kc
- Flop: Qd, 9d, 5s
- Verdict: 7.1% falls short of the 27.8% you need, so calling loses chips long-run.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Required equity | 27.8% |
| Your equity | 7.1% |
| EV of calling | -3.72 BB |
Slot 5: hand-reading
Hand A wins.
- Hand A: 3d, Kc
