Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
Checking back a gutshot on a connected board realizes free equity, and King-high is an easy fold facing river aggression.
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
Checking back is the right play — taking a free card lets our gutshot realize its equity safely without reopening the action on a dangerous board.
Folding is clearly correct here despite the tiny bet sizing. King-high simply does not possess enough showdown value to bluff-catch effectively. **Math:** Facing a 2BB bet into 6BB, pot odds require 20% equity to break even, but unimproved King-high beats virtually none of villain's betting range. **Ranges:** SB's small bet typically represents a block bet with mid pairs or value from newly paired Aces. Without a pair or strong blockers, we cannot profitably peel. --- > **Takeaway:** Never let tempting pot odds lure you into calling on the river without a hand capable of winning at showdown.
