Flop
4♠ 5♠ 6♥

While KK is an overpair, this low, connected board favors the caller's range, making a check the preferred play to protect our weaker holdings.

Flop Analysis

Checking is the preferred play here. While we have an overpair, this board texture is significantly better for the Button's calling range than our opening range.

Note: Betting here is a slight mistake; the board heavily favors the caller's range (sets, straights, two pairs), making a check mandatory to protect our range and realize equity.
