What it shows
With one card to come the flush draw has roughly nine outs from 44 unseen cards, about a fifth of the equity it needs. The flop call was right and this one is badly wrong: the draw did not change, the number of cards left did.
The working
- Range. The stated range is 18 combos. None of them use a card you can see, so all 18 are live.
- Equity. You win 19.3% and chop 0.0%, so equity is 19.3% + 0.0% ÷ 2 = 19.3%. Each hand class gets 20,000 sampled runouts with its own fixed seed, weighted by live combos. Sampling error is about ±0.16 points (one standard error).
- Price. Calling risks the bet to win the pot plus the bet, so break-even is bet ÷ (pot + 2 × bet) = 30 ÷ (30 + 2 × 30) = 33.3%.
- EV. equity × (pot + bet) − (1 − equity) × bet = 0.1928 × 60 − 0.8073 × 30 = −12.65 bb. Folding is 0, so that is the whole difference between the two options.
Where the equity comes from
Your equity against every hand class in the range, with how much of the range each one is. The total above is these rows averaged by combo count.
| Villain | Combos | Share | Win | Chop | Your equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 33.3% | 19.0% | 0.0% | 19.0% | |
| KK | 6 | 33.3% | 19.4% | 0.0% | 19.4% |
| AA | 6 | 33.3% | 19.4% | 0.0% | 19.4% |

- Computed: card removal, equity (exact on the river, sampled with fixed seeds before it), the break-even price, and the EV of calling. Same engine, same seeds, same numbers for anyone who opens the link.
- Assumed: the range. Villain bets every combo in it, all equally often. The four archetype ranges are our assumptions and are printed in full; a pasted range is yours.
- Assumed: this is the last bet. Before the river, the EV counts you as seeing every remaining card with no more money going in. That is exact when the bet is all-in (every worked example below is) and optimistic otherwise, because it ignores implied odds and reverse implied odds alike.
- Pot is everything in the middle except the bet you face; bet is what it costs you to call. Range notation: AA, AKs, AKo, AK (both), TT+, ATs+, 22-55, A2s-A5s. No weights or single combos.
