CO vs BB

3-Bet Pot
Flop
K♠ 9♦ 2♣

AKs should mostly 4-bet pre, then call flop and mix turn strategy; river is effectively all-in and solver has a mix of call and fold, but folding is reasonable without a diamond blocker.

Flop Analysis

Flop K92 rainbow, BB leads 10 into 34.5; we have top pair with strong kicker and are getting 3.5:1, needing only ~22.5% equity. Solver mostly continues as a call with some large raise mixed in.

Turn Analysis

Turn 7h, SPR ≈0.5, we've already raised flop and BB just called; solver leans toward checking here with top pair, but a small bet is fine. Checking keeps our range protected and avoids overplaying a marginal top pair.

River Analysis

River 4d, pot ≈143.5bb, BB now has ~1bb left and bets 49bb into a pot where we're already committed. With top pair and no diamond, we're getting ~2.9:1 and need about 25.5% equity; solver has a mix of call and fold, but folding is reasonable given BB's range advantage and our lack of a diamond blocker.
