Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
We should semi-bluff our open-ended straight draw on the flop or jam over the turn bet to maximize fold equity with our high equity.

Calling the small c-bet is mandatory. We have over 50% equity against the BTN range and getting over 4:1 on a call, making this an easy continue.
The 6s is a complex card that pairs the board and completes the spade flush. Checking is the only play to control the pot and see how BTN reacts.
Folding here is a significant mistake given the shallow SPR and our massive equity. With an open-ended straight draw and an Ace-high that still beats BTN's air, we should be jamming to maximize our fold equity. **Ranges:** BTN's large sizing is polarized, containing many flushes and trips, but also plenty of bluffs like Ad8d or KdJs. By jamming, we force their air to fold while retaining ~30-40% equity when called by their value. **Math:** We need roughly 31% equity to call, and our hand has 41% against their betting range. In a shallow SPR environment (0.49), we cannot afford to fold hands with this much raw equity. **Plan:** When we have a strong draw and the stacks are this shallow, the goal is to realize equity. Folding allows Villain to print money with any two cards in this spot. --- > **Takeaway:** In low SPR situations, do not fold strong draws; either call or jam to ensure you realize your equity.
Note: Folding an open-ended straight draw with an overcard in a shallow SPR spot is a massive equity surrender; jamming is the preferred high-EV play.
