Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
Small pocket pairs lose most of their value on high, connected boards; folding to a c-bet is a disciplined standard play.

Folding is the correct play. While the pot odds are tempting, our hand has almost no way to improve and will be forced to fold to any further aggression on most turns. **Ranges:** CO's range is packed with overpairs like KK and AA, plus strong top pairs like AJ. Even their bluffs, such as KQ or AK, have massive equity against our small underpair. **Board:** This texture is highly connected and dynamic. With two spades and straight possibilities, we are essentially drawing to a single three, and even then, we might not have the best hand if the board continues to coordinate. **Math:** We need roughly 20% equity to call, and while we have about 38% against their entire range, our poor equity realization OOP makes it impossible to reach showdown profitably. --- > **Takeaway:** Don't be seduced by good pot odds when holding an underpair on a wet board; if you can't realize your equity, folding is the higher EV play.
