Worked examples
We computed these with the same engine as the calculator, by counting every possible deal. Hand A is the first hand in each spot. Equity is the share of the pot a hand takes on average if no one bets again; it isn't advice on how to play.

The flop has three hearts. Hand A holds the ace of hearts and four of hearts, so it already has the nut flush, plus a set of eights. Hand B holds the king and queen of hearts, a flush one card lower, and is drawing dead.

Disclaimer
Poker equity calculator (educational). This tool shows each hand's equity: the share of the pot it would win on average if all the remaining cards were dealt with no more betting. It uses only the cards you enter and treats every unknown card as equally likely. It ignores betting and how anyone plays, and it cannot tell you what will happen in a hand or what to do. “Exact” results count every possible deal. “Simulated” results are estimates; the plus-or-minus figure means each player's true value is very likely (95% confidence) within that range. Nothing you enter leaves your device. Many card rooms and poker sites do not allow calculators during a hand; check their rules.
