Checking turn and folding river with zero equity shows disciplined play on a board that heavily favored the defender.

Flop Analysis

Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.

Turn Analysis

Checking back is pure standard here. With unimproved Jack-high and no spade blocker, barrelling into a range that called a large flop bet burns chips at this shallow SPR. **Board:** The turn brings a third spade and enables wheel straights, shifting equity and nut advantage firmly toward the defender. **Ranges:** SB's continuing range against our big flop bet is heavily concentrated in Ax pairs, 9x holdings, and flush draws that now improved or completed. A second barrel folds out nothing that beats us and only gets called or raised by superior hands. --- > **Takeaway:** When scare cards hit that directly improve the defender's calling range, shut down bluffs that have no equity or blocker leverage.

River Analysis

A straightforward fold. Even getting 4:1 pot odds against a small lead, our unimproved Jack-high has virtually zero showdown value against SB's value-heavy betting range.
