Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
We correctly folded a weak high-card hand on a board that heavily favors the preflop raiser's range.

Folding is the correct play. While we have a backdoor flush draw, our hand has very little raw equity against a range that contains many top pairs and strong draws. **Ranges:** The Button has a significant advantage here with hands like AQ, AJ, and sets of 99 or QQ. Our K-high is essentially at the bottom of our range and lacks the connectivity to continue profitably against a 60% pot sizing. **Math:** We need roughly 28% equity to call, and while we have about 31% against their total range, our realization OOP is poor. We will be forced to fold on most turns if we don't improve immediately, making a call -EV in practice. **Blockers:** Holding the Kh is slightly relevant as it blocks some of Villain's K-high bluffs (like KJ or KT with a heart), but it doesn't do enough to justify a continue on this specific texture. --- > **Takeaway:** Don't feel pressured to defend weak high-card hands on boards that smash the aggressor's broadway-heavy range.
