Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
Folding middle pair to a single pot-sized bet is too tight, even with a weak kicker, as we have enough equity to continue.

Folding here is a significant mistake. While our kicker is the worst possible, middle pair is simply too strong to fold to a single bet on this board. **Ranges:** CO's range contains many high-card hands like AQo or KJ that we currently beat, as well as various straight draws like JT or 65. By folding, we allow Villain to profitably bluff their entire air range. **Math:** We are getting 2:1 on a call, requiring 33% equity to continue. With over 50% equity against Villain's betting range, this is a clear continue despite the large sizing. **Plan:** We should call and re-evaluate on the turn. We are looking for a 7 or 2 to improve, but we can also bluff-catch on many brick runouts if Villain continues to barrel. --- > **Takeaway:** Don't over-fold middle pair on wet boards; you need to defend enough of your range to prevent Villain from bluffing with impunity.
Note: Folding middle pair here is too tight; we have over 50% equity and the pot odds to comfortably call a pot-sized bet.
