Checking is standard after our flop check-raise gets called; with five-high and no newly picked-up equity, firing again into CO's condensed range burns chips.
Folding here is completely routine. Our flop check-raise failed to fold out CO, and facing a turn bet with five-high and no draw, we have no reason to continue. **Ranges:** Calling a check-raise on this texture leaves CO with a concentrated range of strong top pairs like Ax, second pair holdings like Kx, and two pair combinations. We have zero fold equity to justify an all-in shove, and calling is out of the question. **Math:** Facing a 60% pot bet of 8.1BB into 13.4BB, we need 27.4% equity to break even, but our five-high has negligible equity against CO's value-heavy range. --- > **Takeaway:** When an ambitious flop bluff gets called, shut down and conserve chips on turns that bring no improved equity.
