Flop
K♣ 7♦ 9♦

On K-7-9-T-7, solver prefers raising trips on the river, but calling the small donk is a reasonable, lower-variance alternative.

Flop Analysis

Flop Kc-7d-9d gives us second pair on a semi-wet board. Solver leans heavily toward checking here with this combo, but a small c-bet like 1.9BB into 5.1BB is a reasonable mix—just be aware that checking is the default.

Turn Analysis

Turn Tc brings in straights and more flush draws, and our hand is still just second pair. With SPR around 4, checking back is a solid, low-variance choice—our hand is strong enough to continue but not strong enough to value-bet into a range that can call with Kx and better pairs.

River Analysis

River 7h pairs the board and BB leads 4.7 into 13.6; we’re getting about 2.9:1 and need ~26% equity. Solver actually prefers raising trips here, but calling is a reasonable, lower-variance alternative—our hand is strong enough to continue but not strong enough to value-bet into a range that can call with Kx and better pairs.
