5♦ 7♥ Q♠

While our middle pair is a strong bluff-catcher, leading into the aggressor on a blank turn is a mistake that bloats the pot with a capped range.

Flop Analysis

Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.

Flop Analysis

Calling the small continuation bet is mandatory with middle pair and a strong kicker. We have plenty of equity against the Button's wide range.

Turn Analysis

Leading here is a significant strategic error. We should check to the Button to let them continue bluffing their air or check back their marginal hands.

Note: Don't lead (donk bet) on this turn; your hand is a pure check-call. Leading allows Villain to play perfectly by folding air and raising value.
