KJo UTG on 752r: Call The Turn Donk

UTG vs BB
Pot
Single-Raised Pot
Flop
2♠ 5♥ 7♠

Against an aggressive turn lead from the Big Blind, King-Jack holds enough equity against missed floats and draws to make calling mandatory.

Flop Analysis

C-betting small is a solid option on this low, disconnected board. While checking back to realize equity is also viable, betting roughly a third of the pot pressures BB's unpaired overcards while retaining our range advantage.

Turn Analysis

Folding here over-folds our range against a polar donk bet. Even though our hand is King-high, we have sufficient equity and clean outs against BB's air-heavy leads.

Note: Folding King-Jack high facing the turn donk gives up too much equity; our hand comfortably beats BB's bluffs and floating draws.
