Single-Raised Pot
Flop
5♦ 6♥ T♠

While our hand is a solver call, we should be cautious on the river against a population that under-bluffs this line.

Flop Analysis

Checking back is the preferred play with our specific hand. We have a marginal made hand that doesn't need much protection and functions well as a bluff-catcher on later streets.

Turn Analysis

The Ace is a great card for our range but not necessarily for our specific hand. We check back to keep the pot small and realize our equity.

River Analysis

We have a pure bluff-catcher here. While the solver calls at a high frequency due to the price, the population context makes this a very difficult spot.
