Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
Folding Q-high on a paired board is correct as we lack the equity to continue against a range that hits this texture well.

Folding is the correct play. While the bet is small, our Q-high has very little equity and no real draws to improve on future streets. **Ranges:** The Button's range contains many overcards that dominate us (AK, AQ) and pocket pairs (66-TT) that have us crushed. We have plenty of better hands to continue with, such as any Jx, 5x, or pocket pairs. **Board:** On a paired J-high rainbow board, the texture is relatively static. Since we have no straight or flush draws, we are essentially hoping to hit a Queen, which may still not be enough to win the pot. **Math:** We need roughly 20% equity to call the 1/3 pot bet. While our raw equity is 27%, our equity realization (EQR) is poor out of position without a draw, making a fold the higher EV choice. --- > **Takeaway:** Don't feel obligated to peel with weak overcards on paired boards just because the bet is small; focus on hands with better playability.
