Raise sizes, equity and fold equity

by MiiWiin

They are absolute standards in No Limit, but mathematical concepts aren't everybody's thing: what equity do you need for a call? What fold equity can you achieve with a raise? What are good raise sizes?

If you know exactly what conditions need to be met at the tables, then you'll waltz through this quiz.

If you're not so sure, then you will have to carry out exact calculations and use these concepts later on at the table.

We've picked NL 10 full-ring for this quiz, so the calculations won't be that complicated.

Good luck at the tables!
