Flop
5♠ 7♠ A♥

Defend preflop with suited broadways, but avoid leading into the preflop raiser on Ace-high boards where they hold a massive range advantage.

Flop Analysis

Leading (donking) here is a significant error—we should check our entire range to the preflop aggressor. On an Ace-high board, the Button has a massive range advantage and we have zero equity to support a lead.

Note: Leading into the preflop raiser on an Ace-high board is highly inefficient; we lack the range advantage to justify a 'donk' bet and should check-fold or check-call instead.
