KTs CO on T76fd: Top Pair, Right Price

Hero: K♠T♠
Position: CO vs BB
Pot: Single-Raised Pot
Flop: T♣ 6♦ 7♣

Opening KTs is fine, but over-betting this wet flop with a marginal top pair is a leak; once raised, our stack and pot odds make continuing mandatory.

Flop Analysis

Betting is correct with top pair and range advantage here, but the 4.8BB sizing is too large — we want a small c-bet size on this texture, especially with a marginal top pair.

Note: The flop bet size (almost pot) is too big; with top pair and a strong range advantage, using a small 20–33% c-bet is higher EV than bloating the pot and polarizing our range unnecessarily.

Flop Analysis

Once BB raises and the effective result is that our remaining stack goes in for ~13.5BB more into ~58.9BB, calling off with top pair is mandatory given the price and our equity edge versus a draw-heavy raising range.
