Two boards, one number
Your equity is the average of the two boards. Everything else follows from that.
A double board bomb pot looks like two games at once. It is one game with one number: your share of the pot is the average of your share on each board. Seventy on top and ten on the bottom is forty, and forty is what you compare with the price of a bet.
Two things fall out of that sentence before you learn anything else. First, nothing on one board halves everything you hold on the other. A monster on the top board with a dead bottom board is a forty-percent hand, and forty percent calls a pot bet but does not raise one. Second, a hand that is merely good on both boards is often worth more than a hand that is great on one, because two medium shares average to a medium share with far fewer disasters.
Today's drill is not about the number yet. It is about seeing a board at all. The engine deals a flop and a hand; you say what colour the board is for you: red, orange, yellow or grey. The colours are the method's shorthand, and you will learn their exact definitions tomorrow. Today, guess with your eyes and read the answer. By day seven you will not guess.
Say it out loud at the table: top board, number; bottom board, number; average. Three words, then the price.
The big hands come from two boards, not one.
