Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
When your turn bluff gets raised, you must fold your high-card hands rather than clicking back into a range that has you crushed.

The King is an excellent card for our range, allowing us to continue pressure. We should lean toward a larger sizing to maximize fold equity against the BB's middle pairs.
When BB raises the turn, our hand becomes a pure fold. Clicking back with Ace-high into a range that contains many two-pairs and sets is a massive error. **Ranges:** BB's check-raise on this board is extremely polarized, representing hands like K8s, J8s, or 55. We have zero equity against that value range and we block the straight draws (like T9) that BB might be semi-bluffing. **Math:** While the pot odds look decent, our actual equity is only 26%. We are drawing dead against sets and have very few outs against two-pair, making a call or raise significantly -EV. --- > **Takeaway:** When you are raised on a card that hits your range but Villain shows aggression anyway, respect the strength and fold your air.
Note: Raising over a turn check-raise with Ace-high is a massive overplay; you have no made hand and block the bluffs you want Villain to have.
At this point, the pot is bloated and we are committed to a losing cause. The previous raise already sealed our fate.
Note: Continuing to click back/shove here is simply compounding the previous error with a hand that cannot win at showdown.
