Iso TT pre, mostly check back on paired turns, and call the river with a strong bluff‑catcher.
Flop comes K‑7‑4 rainbow, no flush possible. We’ve got a middle pair on a semi‑wet K‑high board where CO’s limp‑call range is full of Kx and pocket pairs. Theory leans toward checking back here, but a small c‑bet like 2.9BB is still reasonable as a low‑frequency stab.
Turn pairs the 4 and the board is now dry. With SPR ~3, our hand is strong enough to continue but not strong enough to value‑bet into a range that now contains more Kx and 44. Checking back is the right idea—let CO stab with their air and weaker pairs rather than building a big pot with a hand that’s mostly a bluff‑catcher.
CO bets 7BB into 14.4BB, so we’re getting about 3:1 and need ~25% equity. TT is still a solid middle pair with no real draw, and it’s comfortably ahead of CO’s bluff‑catching range, so calling is mandatory. Raising would mostly get action from Kx and 44, while folding would be far too tight.
River 6s bricks all the draws and we’re still sitting on a strong bluff‑catcher. Checking and giving CO a chance to bluff is the best plan—there’s no need to lead into a range that’s now heavily weighted to Kx, 44, and some 65/76.
River bet is 17BB into 45.4BB, so we’re getting about 2.7:1 and need ~27% equity. TT has roughly 37% versus a value‑heavy range, and we don’t block many of CO’s natural bluffs, so calling off is the right decision. Folding here would be too tight, and turning this into a bluff by raising would be ambitious with a hand that’s mostly a bluff‑catcher.
