Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
We should fold K-high when we miss the board and face a significant bet from the preflop aggressor.

Folding is the only viable play. While we have a backdoor flush draw and two overcards to the middle of the board, we are simply too low in our range to continue against a 67% pot sizing. **Ranges:** UTG has a significant range advantage here with hands like AQo, KQo, and sets (QQ, 88, 77). Our K-high has very little equity against their value and even struggles against their bluffs like AJ or KJ. **Math:** We need roughly 28.6% equity to call, but our hand only realizes about 27.8%. Being out of position makes it even harder to realize that equity on future streets. **Plan:** If we had a gutshot (like JTs) or a stronger backdoor (like AJ with a backdoor flush draw), we could consider a call, but KTs is a pure fold here. --- > **Takeaway:** Don't feel pressured to defend weak high-card hands against large bets just because you have backdoors; preserve your stack for better spots.
