Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
Checking back unpaired overcards and folding to a river overbet on a wet board is textbook GTO play.

Checking back is pure. Without a spade or straight draw, betting accomplishes little and exposes us to check-raises. **Ranges:** BB continues check-calling with pairs and draws like Ac6c, while better hands never fold. Checking preserves our equity against hands like AdQh. **Plan:** Checking through allows us to see a free river and realize our showdown value without inflating the pot while behind BB's made hands. --- > **Takeaway:** Check back unpaired overcards lacking draw equity on connected boards to avoid bloating the pot.
A clear, disciplined fold. BB leads with an overbet on a runout that completes multiple straights and flushes, leaving our unmade ace-high completely unviable. **Math:** Facing a 124% pot bet, we need 35.7% equity to continue, but our high card has near-zero equity against a polarized betting range. **Ranges:** BB's polar leading range consists of flushes such as Ts8s, sets, and two pairs like 4h3h, with insufficient air to justify bluff-catching. --- > **Takeaway:** Never call river overbets with unimproved high cards on heavily coordinated runouts.
