Check-folding ten-high facing a large c-bet on high-card boards preserves your shallow tournament stack.

Flop Analysis

Checking our entire range out of position is standard here as this broadway-heavy texture strongly favors the button's range.

Flop Analysis

Folding here is pure. Despite getting a decent nominal price, our hand sits at the absolute bottom of our range and lacks the equity to continue against a heavy c-bet. **Ranges:** The button's 60% pot bet represents a polarized, high-equity range featuring top pairs like AK and KQ, strong second pairs, and Broadway gutshots. Our ten-high beats nothing and has virtually no clean turn cards. **Math:** We need 27.3% equity to continue profitably, but our hand holds less than 19% raw equity against this betting range. With an SPR of just 1.6, our out-of-position equity realization is far too poor to float. --- > **Takeaway:** When facing large continuation bets on Broadway boards at shallow SPRs, disciplined folds with the bottom of your range are mandatory.
