2♠ T♥ Q♠

We should defend pocket sevens preflop for the set-mining potential, but fold quickly when the board texture favors the aggressor's high-card range.

Flop Analysis

Folding is the correct play. While we have a pair, it is the lowest possible pair on a board that heavily connects with the HJ's opening range.
