5♦ J♥ K♠

We correctly defend a suited connector preflop but must fold when the board misses our range and Villain applies heavy pressure.

Flop Analysis

Folding is the correct play. While we have a backdoor flush draw, this specific texture heavily favors the Small Blind's high-card range, and our hand lacks the immediate equity to continue against a large 60% pot sizing.
