Equity
Your share of the pot on average: the chance your hand ends up best (a tie counts as half), given the cards still to come.
If your hand wins 60 times in 100 against the other hand, you have 60% equity. Equity says nothing about any single hand; it is what you would get on average if the situation were played many times.
