This allows for more informed choices about whether to continue, fold, or raise based on the expected value of the hand.

Your explanation is spot on! Incorporating equity calculations into hand analysis is crucial for making better decisions in poker. By understanding the probability of your hand winning against your opponent's range of hands, you can gauge whether your decision is profitable in the long run.

This systematic approach empowers players to make more strategic decisions that optimize their overall profitability and reduce the impact of short-term variance. It's a fundamental skill for any serious poker player looking to improve their game. Keep up the great work!
