Flop
5♦ J♥ K♠

We correctly floated the flop and turn with overcards and a gutshot, but must fold when the river bricks and Villain continues their aggression.

Flop Analysis

Calling is the standard play here. We have two overcards to the middle of the board and a gutshot to the nuts, making this an easy float against a small continuation bet.

Turn Analysis

We continue to call on the turn. While the 4d brings a flush draw for Villain, it doesn't change the fact that our Ace-high and gutshot still have enough equity to peel another card.

River Analysis

The river is a total brick for our specific holding, and we must fold. Once Villain barrels a third time for nearly 40% of the pot, our Ace-high loses its value as a bluff-catcher.
