Flop
6♠ 7♠ Q♥

We correctly folded a weak pair on a four-flush river where Villain's range is heavily weighted toward value.

Flop Analysis

Checking is the preferred play here, though a small bet is a viable mix. We have very little equity and the board favors the BB's flatting range.

Turn Analysis

The Ace of spades is a massive range-shifting card. While we have the range advantage, our specific hand has almost zero equity and functions best as a check.

Note: Checking is fine, but solver prefers a small bet to capitalize on the Ace-high range advantage and fold out BB's weak pairs.

River Analysis

Correct fold. The 8s puts a fourth spade on the board, and while we improved to a pair, we lose to any single spade in the Villain's hand.
