Flop Analysis
Flop comes T‑4‑4 rainbow, no flush possible, and we’ve got top two (TT44). MP bets 7 into 9.5, then CO rips 17 over the top. We’re getting about 2:1 and need around 34% equity, but TT44 is crushing a strong, polarized range—something like 71% equity. Calling is mandatory here; the only real question is whether to raise or just call. Raising mostly isolates us against stronger hands and folds out worse, while calling keeps CO’s weaker hands in and lets MP continue with bluffs and weaker value.
