Equity shapes to memorise (favourite's %)

The equity buckets worth memorising
Almost every pre-flop spot falls into a handful of shapes. A pair versus two overcards ("a flip") is roughly 55/45 to the pair. A pair versus one over and one under is around 70/30. Two overcards versus a smaller pair (like A-K vs Q-Q) is a near race, about 46/54. A dominated hand — same top card, worse kicker — is in deep trouble at 70/30 or worse. Learn these and you'll answer on reflex.
Why estimating equity fast matters
At the table you rarely have exact numbers — you have a read and a few seconds. Being able to say "I'm about 40% here" lets you compare against your pot odds and act correctly. Need the exact figure for study? Use the equity calculator. Fuzzy on the concept? Start with what equity is.
Frequently asked questions
What is Equity Sprint?
A free timed quiz: you're shown ten random pre-flop match-ups and pick the closest equity for the first hand from four options. It trains you to estimate how often a hand wins — fast, the way you need to at the table.
What counts as a correct answer?
The option closest to the true equity, calculated by simulating the match-up. Since equities are estimates, the choices are spaced far enough apart that the right answer is clear once you know the ballpark.
Do I need to memorise exact percentages?
No — you need the ranges. A pair versus two overcards is a coin flip (~55/45), a dominated ace is crushed (~70/30), and big slick versus a smaller pair is a near race (~46/54). Learn the buckets and you'll answer instantly.
How is the equity calculated?
Each match-up is run through a Monte-Carlo simulation of tens of thousands of random boards in your browser, accurate to well within the spacing of the answer choices.
