blackshoe Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 What is "equity"? Does it change over the course of bidding? Over the course of play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordontd Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 It's worth noting that the word has been removed from two of the three places where it was used in the old laws, so perhaps less important to define it now than formerly. I do think though that it can change over the course of the hand: If the auction has gone off the rails before something stops the board from being able to be completed, what might be considered "equity" would be different than it would have been if you had sought to determine it before the hand had begun.

blackshoe Posted September 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Thanks, Gordon. I do expect people will still use it, and we'll probably have as many different meanings as we have people using the word. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 While the word may not be used, the notion exists in other places. E.g. 64C, in the procedures after an established revoke, refers to the NOS being "insufficiently compensated ... for the damage caused" and then refers to the "likely result".

MinorKid Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I have to say that on some strange hands and unscientific auctions which depends on a large portion of luck, it is difficult to restore equity after a leak of information from a irregularity.
