Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
We should only call 3-bets with small pairs when deep enough to set-mine, and fold quickly when we miss on high-card boards.

Folding is the correct play. Despite the small sizing and good pot odds, our hand has almost no way to improve and will face further pressure on most turns. **Math:** We need roughly 20% equity to call, and while we have about 33% against a wide range, we realize that equity poorly out of position. We are essentially hoping Villain is clicking buttons with total air like AQ or AJ. **Blockers:** We don't block any of Villain's primary bluffs, and our 44 doesn't have any backdoor straight potential to justify a float. --- > **Takeaway:** Don't feel obligated to defend underpairs just because the bet is small; if you have no plan to win the pot, just fold.
