Fold equity is a concept in poker that refers to the potential value a player gains by making an opponent fold their hand. It is an essential part of evaluating the profitability of a bluff or semi-bluff. When a player bets or raises, they not only rely on their own hand strength to win the pot but also on the possibility that their opponent will fold, thus not allowing the hand to progress to a showdown.
