Flop Analysis
Standard check. As the caller out of position, we check our entire range to the preflop aggressor on this low, disconnected texture.
Defend K9o preflop at these stack depths, but don't feel obligated to peel against large flop bets when you miss completely.

Folding is the correct play here. While we have two overcards, the CO's large sizing (66% pot) significantly reduces our required defense frequency with air. **Ranges:** CO has a range advantage on this board with all overpairs (88-AA) and strong A-high. Our K9o has no backdoor draws and very poor equity realization against a large bet. **Sizing:** Against a smaller 25-33% pot bet, we might consider a float with our overcards, but the 3.4BB sizing is designed to fold out exactly these types of weak high-card hands. --- > **Takeaway:** Don't over-defend weak overcards without backdoor equity when facing large continuation bets.
