Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
Checking back the turn with zero equity is a fine mix, and folding river against SB's lead is standard despite good pot odds.
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
Checking back is completely reasonable here, running virtually EV-neutral with firing a second barrel. While the Queen favors our range and gives us high fold equity against third pairs, our backdoor flush draw completely vanished.
Folding is the clear and disciplined play. Even though we are getting 4.0:1 on a call, our Ace-high has virtually zero showdown value against a range dominated by rivered trips, turned Queens, and rivered two pairs. **Ranges:** SB's river lead is heavy on made hands like two-pair combos (Kh8h, Kd8d) and rivered trips with Tx. They rarely find enough pure bluffs after we checked behind on a wet turn. **Math:** Facing a 3.0BB bet into 9.0BB, we need 20% equity to call. However, Ace-high is near the bottom of our range and does not beat SB's value bets or even their missed straight draws that paired the board. --- > **Takeaway:** Great pot odds cannot save an under-defended bluff catcher that loses to almost the entirety of Villain's betting range.
