Flop Analysis
Flop 9d Jh 6s rainbow, three-way. Solver data is heads-up, but the idea is similar: we have a range advantage and a strong draw-heavy hand class. KQo has a gutshot to T and overcards to J9, and we block some of CO’s natural semi-bluff candidates. Checking is fine, but solver prefers a mix of small and medium bets to pressure one-pair hands and random floats. Once CO bets 4BB into 6.5BB, we’re getting about 2.6:1 and need ~28% equity; with a gutshot plus overcards we have roughly 30–35% equity, so continuing is reasonable. Folding here is slightly too tight for a multiway pot.
Note: Letting go of KQo versus CO’s flop bet is too conservative; with a gutshot plus overcards, calling the 4BB stab is higher EV than folding.
