River Analysis

Calling is standard here. Getting better than 4:1 against a small river lead, our Ace kicker beats Villain's missed floats often enough to make this an easy bluff-catch. **Math:** Facing a 2.7BB bet into 8.4BB (a 33% pot stab), we need under 20% equity to break even. Folding our best kickers here would fold well beyond minimum defense frequency. **Ranges:** SB's check-call on the flop and check on the turn leaves them with plenty of missed floats such as Ah9h and AcTh. With no flushes or straights possible, those missed overcards frequently take a cheap stab on the river. --- > **Takeaway:** Facing a small river probe on a blank runout, never fold top kicker when offered 4:1 pot odds.
