Flop
9♠ Q♠ A♥

We correctly called a small flop bet with multiple draws but found a disciplined fold when facing a large turn overbet that ruined our price.

Flop Analysis

Calling is the standard play here. We have a gutshot to the nut straight, a backdoor spade flush draw, and two overcards to the middle of the board, giving us plenty of ways to continue.

Turn Analysis

Folding is the correct disciplined play. The SB's massive overbet polarizes their range to strong top pairs or better, and our gutshot no longer has the price to chase.
