Fold equity is the chance that your opponent will fold when you bet or raise. It’s a key concept in poker strategy—especially when bluffing or semi-bluffing—because it means you can win the pot without showing the best hand.
The stronger your perceived range or betting line, and the more likely your opponent is to fold, the higher your fold equity. It depends on several factors: your opponent’s tendencies, your position, the size of your bet, and the board texture.
Good players use fold equity to turn weak hands into winning plays by betting in spots where a fold is likely.
