Flop Analysis
On 8h 7h 9c, BU has a slight range advantage and we’re OOP with SPR ~3.5, so checking range is preferred. KK is a strong but not invulnerable hand here, and checking lets BU stab his air and weaker pairs while we realize our equity.
Open KK, check and call flop, then turn jam over BU’s bet with SPR ~1.1 and KK still ahead of most of his range.

Facing BU’s small c-bet, KK is far ahead of his range and has excellent equity. Calling is preferred—raising mostly isolates us against sets and strong draws while folding out worse hands. Solver prefers call with some raise mixing, but the call-only line is very reasonable.
Turn 7c pairs the board and SPR drops to ~1.1; BU’s range is still wide but now includes more trips and strong draws. After we check, BU bets 4BB into 10.1BB. With KK still ahead of most of his range and BU’s stack behind, jamming over the bet is a natural shove for value and to avoid awkward river spots.
