A shortcut method for calculating
equity. If we are trying to determine our
equity planning on only seeing one more card, we can simply multiply our expected number of
outs by 2 and get an approximation that is within 1-2% in most cases. If we are trying to determine our
equity planning on seeing both the
turn and
river, then we can multiply our
outs by 4 and get a good estimation as
well.
Example: With 9 outs, Hero guessed that he had 36% equity based on the Rule of 4. In actuality, he had 37.23% equity.
