K♠ Q♦ T♣

With KQ on KQT rainbow and an SPR of 0.9, we should almost always check and let UTG continue with their range; occasional large bets are fine but not necessary.

Flop Analysis

Flop Ks Qd Tc rainbow, SPR ≈0.9. We have top two on a very connected board, but UTG’s opening range still has the overall range advantage. Solver prefers checking almost always, with only a small frequency of large bets. Checking lets UTG c-bet their weaker hands and draws, while we can comfortably call with our strong made hand and avoid building a huge pot with a short stack behind.
