Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
With top pair and a shallow SPR, we must call the flop raise and jam the turn to realize our equity against a wide range of draws.

Folding is not an option here. We have top pair and the pot odds are too good to walk away from, especially given the shallow stack-to-pot ratio. **Ranges:** Villain's check-raise range is polarized between strong value like sets (88, 33) and many straight draws like QJ or 76. Our T9o is ahead of their bluffs and blocks some of their continuing range. **Math:** We need roughly 32% equity to call, and our hand has over 60% against their raising range. At an SPR of 1.7, we are effectively committed to seeing a showdown. --- > **Takeaway:** When you have top pair and the SPR is low, you are rarely folding to a single raise on a dynamic board.
Shoving is the most effective way to realize our equity and deny it to Villain's numerous draws. **Board:** The 5h is relatively blank, though it does complete a straight for exactly 76. However, it also introduces more heart draws that Villain might be semi-bluffing with. **Sizing:** With an SPR of only 0.44, any bet or raise is effectively an all-in. Jamming ourselves maximizes fold equity against their air while ensuring we don't get bluffed off the best hand on a scary river. **Plan:** By jamming now, we simplify the hand. If called, we still have significant equity against most of their range, including their lower pairs like 8x or 5x that might feel priced in. --- > **Takeaway:** In low SPR situations, don't give your opponent a chance to realize equity for free—jam your marginal value hands to protect your lead.
