could someone better inform me of the terminology used here in this format when describing odds.

(example)
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 45.120% 44.32% 00.80% 663 12.00 { Ad8s }
Hand 1: 54.880% 54.08% 00.80% 809 12.00 { 55, As7s, As6s, A5s, JsTs, 98s, 76s, A5o, 98o, 76o }

Equity is essentially the "value" of the hand against the other hand. The Win is how often that hand will win. The Tie is how often the hands will tie. Pots won are the number of trials that each hand won from a sample. Same goes for Pots tied. And the first hand is specific, while the second is a range.
