Defend K6o pre, check the flop, and if we bluff, use a small raise—jamming over a tiny c-bet with a weak draw is a huge overplay.
Flop comes 9s 8c 7c, no flush possible, and we’ve got K-high with an open-ender plus a backdoor club draw. UTG has a slight range edge on this connected board, so checking is the go-to line—our hand is strong enough to continue, but not strong enough to lead into a range that’s full of 9x, 8x, and sets.
After we check and UTG fires 3.2BB into 5.25BB, we’re getting about 2.6:1 and need roughly 27% equity; K6o has around 36% vs UTG’s range, so calling or raising small is totally reasonable. But jamming 56.8BB over a tiny c-bet is a huge overplay—our draw is strong enough to bluff, but not strong enough to rip it in for stacks.
Note: Shoving 56.8BB over a small c-bet with K6o on 987cc is far too big; calling or raising small is preferred.
