right Waz1892 slow down a tad, learn each part 1 at a time and it will come..
pot odds lets you decide whether to call - eg a flush draw or str8 draw etc etc
pot equity usually helps determine when you should bet/call. - eg in various situations equity allows you to profit by betting or raising in situations where you have a distinct advantage in the hand, or can gain that advantage by not allowing other players to continue . Say in post flop play you have a set and your opponent has flopped a made flush AND he goes all in and the odds are 2.5to1 to call you would use equity to see if it is correct to fold or call his all in. As a set is 34.44% to win it is correct to call as 2.5to1 pot odds turned into equity looks like -
ok add 2.5 and 1 together equals 3.5 when online or reviewing a history have a calculator at hand
all we do now is divide 1by3.5 then times by 100 will be our minimum equity to call so 1/3.5*100=28.57%
in the above set v made flush we know are 34.44% [1.9to1] to improve so this would be a good call THE ODDS/EQUITY TO CALL IS HIGHER [28.57% 2.5to1]
34.44% is 1.90to1 the odds we are getting are 28.57% 2.50to1
i hope i"m not mixing you up even more, keep asking till it sinks in...also get pokerstove downloaded [its free]
