Folding when checking is completely free forfeits the entire pot; holding an eight-high flush, we should actively target worse hands with an overbet. **Ranges:** HJ checked back the turn, capping their range almost entirely to non-spade straights like broadway holdings. Holding the 8♠, our flush crushes the vast majority of their range, allowing an overbet to extract maximum value from stubborn straight combos. **Math:** With over 92% equity against HJ's checking range, folding instantly forfeits 7.5 BB of equity for zero cost. Even if we choose not to overbet, checking costs nothing and allows us to realize our showdown value. --- > **Takeaway:** Never open-fold when checking is free, especially holding a flush that dominates the opponent's capped range.
Note: Folding when checking is free forfeits 100% of the pot; holding an 8-high flush against a capped range requires an overbet for value or at minimum a check.
