Fold Equity Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Fold Equity is:

\[ FE = \frac{COF}{100} \times OE \]

Where:

$FE$ is the Fold Equity ($)
$COF$ is the chance your opponent will fold (%)
$OE$ is the opponent's equity ($)

What is Fold Equity?

Fold Equity refers to the potential profit you can gain in a poker game when your opponent folds. It is calculated by multiplying the chance your opponent will fold by their equity, divided by 100. This concept is crucial in poker strategy as it helps players make informed decisions about when to bet or fold.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Chance Your Opponent Will Fold (COF) = 30%
Opponent's Equity (OE) = $200

Using the formula:

\[ FE = \frac{30}{100} \times 200 = 0.3 \times 200 = 60 \text{ $} \]

The Fold Equity (FE) is $60.
