Equity shapes to memorise (favourite's %)
Each round deals two hands and a flop or turn, all face up. Pick the hand with more equity — the one more likely to win by the river. The reveal shows both equities so you can see how close it was. Ten rounds, then a score.
Made hands vs draws
The hard reads are when a made hand meets a draw. Top pair is usually ahead of a bare flush draw, but a flush draw with two overcards or extra straight outs can flip the favourite. On the flop, draws have two cards to hit, so they carry more equity than most players expect — a nine-out flush draw is around 35% to get there by the river. Learning where the line sits is the whole point.
From "who's ahead" to a decision
Knowing the favourite tells you who wants the money in. If you're ahead, you bet for value and protection; if you're behind with a draw, you weigh your pot odds and fold equity. For the exact numbers behind any spot, open the equity calculator; to speed up your estimates, run an Equity Sprint.
Frequently asked questions
What does "who's ahead" mean?
It's which hand currently has more equity — the higher chance of winning by the river — given the board so far. A made hand can be ahead of a draw, or a strong draw can even be ahead of a weak made hand. This quiz shows a flop or turn and asks you to pick the favourite.
Can a draw be ahead of a made hand?
Yes. A big combo draw — say a flush draw plus an open-ended straight draw — can have more equity than top pair, even though it hasn't 'made' anything yet. Recognising these spots is exactly what the drill teaches.
How is the favourite decided?
Both hands are run to the river against the current board — exactly when few cards remain, by Monte-Carlo simulation when the flop leaves many. The hand with the higher resulting equity is 'ahead'.
Why train this instead of exact equities?
At the table you rarely need the exact number — you need to know who's favourite and roughly by how much, fast. That's enough to choose between betting, calling and folding.
