When the turn completes multiple draws, your semi-bluffs become vulnerable to check-raises that force you to fold significant equity.

Flop Analysis

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

Turn Analysis

Betting small is a viable semi-bluff, but checking back is equally valid to realize equity for free. The 6♠ is a very dynamic card that completes both flushes and straights like 87 or 43.

Note: While betting isn't a massive error, checking back is often preferred to avoid getting blown off our equity by a check-raise on such a wet board.

Turn Analysis

Folding here is a significant mistake. Despite the scary board, we are getting excellent pot odds and hold a Jack-high flush draw that still has roughly 28% equity against Villain's range.

Note: Folding a flush draw when facing a raise at this SPR is too tight; we need roughly 32% equity and our draw plus overcards is close enough to warrant a call or a shove.
