Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
Check-raising middle pocket pairs on K-high boards is too thin; these hands function best as bluff-catchers that control the pot.

After being called on the flop, our range is capped and the 2c is a total brick. Checking is the only viable option to try and reach showdown cheaply.
Folding is the correct conclusion to a poorly played line. Once HJ bets the turn, our 99 has plummeted in equity against a range that called a large flop raise. **Math:** We need roughly 27% equity to call, but against a range that includes Kx and sets, we are likely well below that threshold. The large flop raise forced HJ to continue only with hands that now have us crushed. **Plan:** By folding now, we mitigate the damage of the flop mistake. Calling here would likely lead to facing a river shove where we would be guessing with very little information. --- > **Takeaway:** When you realize you've overplayed a hand and the opponent shows strength, have the discipline to fold and move on.
