Flop Analysis
Folding is completely sound here. Even though the one-third pot sizing offers a tempting price, an underpair on an Ace-Ten texture realizes almost none of its raw equity across future streets. **Math:** Facing a 33% pot c-bet, we need only 19.8% equity to continue. However, raw equity rarely translates into realized value when our only clean outs are two remaining fours. **Ranges:** HJ's c-betting range hits this texture hard with top pairs like AhKh, middle pairs, and broadway gutshots like KdQh. Pocket fours sit at the absolute bottom of our continuing range, making an immediate fold the highest-frequency play over a marginal float. --- > **Takeaway:** Do not let favorable pot odds entice you into floating underpairs that cannot profitably contest later streets.
