Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
While AJs is a strong preflop defend, it lacks sufficient connectivity and draw potential to continue against a c-bet on this specific board.

Folding is the correct play here. Despite the small sizing, our hand lacks any direct draws and suffers from poor equity realization out of position. **Ranges:** UTG's c-betting range includes many overpairs like JJ-AA and top pairs like KT/QT that have us crushed. While they have bluffs like KQo or QJ, we don't have enough equity to call down without a pair or a draw. **Math:** We are getting 3.9:1, needing about 20% equity to call. While we have ~40% raw equity, our lack of a flush or straight draw makes it nearly impossible to realize that equity on later streets when we miss. **Blockers:** Holding the Ac is slightly detrimental as it blocks some of UTG's potential nut flush draw bluffs (like Ac5c or AcKc), making their betting range slightly more value-heavy. --- > **Takeaway:** Don't feel obligated to call with Ace-high just because the bet is small; without draws or a pair, you'll struggle to realize equity OOP.
