What is equity realization?

[Julio88]

Equity realization in poker refers to the percentage of a player's raw equity that they can expect to win based on various post-flop variables, such as position, board texture, and stack sizes. It describes the ability of a hand to "realize" its raw equity in a given hand matchup. Essentially, it is the likelihood that a player's hand will end up winning its fair share of the pot. While it is difficult to calculate the exact realization of a hand's equity [1], a player can make an estimate based on various factors and adjust their playing strategy accordingly to improve their equity realization.
