Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
We correctly folded our bottom pair on the turn when the board became too connected and Villain's sizing indicated a strong range.
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
Calling the small c-bet is fine with bottom pair and a backdoor flush draw, though the solver actually suggests a high-frequency check-raise bluff here to capitalize on HJ's range width.
Checking is the only play. The 8s adds straight and flush draws to the board, but we remain at a significant range disadvantage.
Folding is the correct play. While we have bottom pair, the HJ's 75% pot sizing on a wet turn is extremely polar and our hand is at the bottom of our continuing range. **Ranges:** Villain's range is concentrated in top pairs like AK/KQ and sets, while their bluffs often have significant equity (like AsJs or JTs). We are essentially bluff-catching against a range that rarely gives up. **Board:** The 8s is a dynamic card that completes no straights but creates many new draws. This allows Villain to continue barreling with high frequency, making it difficult for our weak pair to reach showdown. **Math:** We need 30% equity to call, and while we have roughly 39% against a GTO range, the difficulty of realizing that equity out of position against a large sizing makes folding the higher EV line. --- > **Takeaway:** When facing large turn barrels on connected boards with bottom pair, it's usually best to let go and wait for better spots.
