let's hear it players

Fold equity is that part of your opponent's pot equity that you will get
if
s/he folds.

Can you use it in a sentence in the context of working out how you'd play
a hypothetical hand? In other words show the usefulness of the concept.

His definition seems a little muddled.

Fold equity is the likelihood your opponent will fold, given the range of
hands you have him on.

Say you have Nut flush draw on a flop of Q73.

He bets half the pot.

You consider going all in.

You may figure you have a 40% chance of winning if he calls, because he may
well have a PP below AA, or Ace, non Q, given his bet.

You may furthjer know that if he has JJ or less, there's a 40% chance he'll
fold.

This means you win the current pot 40% of the time, and 60% of the time, you
have 40% equity in the big pot.

Stack size and good estimates of the fold equity are key.
