Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
We must fold middle pair when the board texture becomes too coordinated and the opponent continues with high aggression.

Checking is mandatory here. The Jack is a very poor card for our specific hand as it now sits below two overcards and completes several straight draws.
Folding is the correct disciplined play. Our middle pair has plummeted in value on this board, and we are facing a large bet that represents a very strong range. **Board:** The Jack is disastrous. It completes straights like AQ and Q9, while turning hands like AJ and KJ into better pairs that have us crushed. Our hand is now a pure bluff-catcher with very little room to improve. **Ranges:** The Button's range is uncapped and contains all the sets (KK, JJ, TT, 77) and straights. By betting ~83% pot, they are polarizing their range, and T6s is simply too low in our range to continue. **Math:** We need roughly 31% equity to call, but against a range of straights, sets, and top pairs, our pair of Tens is significantly behind and will struggle to realize its equity on the river. --- > **Takeaway:** When the turn completes multiple straights and demotes your pair to third-best, respect large bets and fold.
