Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
Folding 77 on a King-high board against a half-pot continuation bet is the standard GTO play to avoid being dominated.

Folding is the correct play. While we have an underpair, we lack any backdoors or significant equity to continue against a range that is dense with top pairs and better pocket pairs. **Ranges:** The CO's 3-betting range is very strong, featuring hands like AK, AA, and KK. Our 77 is currently at the bottom of our continuing range and is frequently dominated by their value hands like JJ or QQ. **Board:** The presence of two high cards (K and T) makes this texture much better for the aggressor. We have very few ways to improve to the best hand on future streets, making equity realization difficult. **Math:** Even though we are getting 3:1 on a call, our 34% equity is 'raw' and hard to realize out of position. We are often facing a multi-street barrel that forces us off the hand later anyway. --- > **Takeaway:** Don't feel obligated to defend weak underpairs on high-card boards in 3-bet pots; they are often range-bottom folds.
