A7o BB on K97r: Bottom Pair on Wet Boards

Hero
A♦7♣
Position
BB vs SB
Pot
Single-Raised Pot
Flop
7♠ 9♠ K♥

Defend bottom pair against small flop bets, but fold when the board texture becomes highly coordinated and facing large turn aggression.

Flop Analysis

Calling is the only play here. We have bottom pair and an overcard, and SB is betting small on a texture where they should be betting frequently with their range advantage.

Turn Analysis

Folding is correct as the board has become extremely dangerous. The Js completes multiple straights and the spade flush, while also making our pair of sevens the fourth-best pair possible.
