Open K8o from SB, mostly check flop, then bet small on the turn and comfortably call off with a strong diamond draw getting 3.2:1.
Flop Analysis
On Ts-6d-4d we have a small range advantage and K8o has a backdoor flush draw plus decent showdown value, but solver still prefers checking this combo more often than betting. The small c-bet works as a mixed line, but checking more often keeps our range more protected and avoids over-bluffing on a semi-wet board.
Note: C-betting this combo is fine, but solver leans toward checking more often with K8o on this texture.
Turn Analysis
The 3d turn completes the front-door flush and puts SPR ≈1.7; with Kd8h we now have a strong diamond draw and some showdown value. Solver leans toward checking here, but a small bet is reasonable as a mixed line. After we bet and face a shove, we’re getting about 3.2:1 and need ~24% equity; Kd8h has a flush draw plus some showdown value, so calling is standard.
Turn Analysis
Facing a shove after our turn bet, we’re getting about 3.2:1 and need ~24% equity. With Kd8h we have a strong diamond draw plus some showdown value, so calling is standard. Solver shows a mix between calling and jamming, but the key point is that this combo is comfortably strong enough to continue versus the shove.
