Odds calculators versus spot solvers

A poker odds calculator estimates equity between hands or ranges. A tournament spot solver also considers fold equity, position, stack depth, antes, previous action, and ICM pressure.

Why fold equity matters

A shove can be profitable even when called equity is not amazing because opponents fold some portion of the time. Calls do not have that benefit, which is why calling ranges are usually tighter than shoving ranges.

FAQ

Tournament spot questions

Is JustShove a poker odds calculator?

Not exactly. It is a heuristic tournament spot solver that gives action recommendations, not a full equity calculator.

What is the difference between equity and fold equity?

Equity is your chance to win at showdown. Fold equity is the value gained when opponents fold before showdown.
