Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
Delaying our c-bet on a brick turn is standard, but we must fold without hesitation when facing a turn check-raise.
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
Stabbing on this blank turn is great after BB checks twice, though a third-pot sizing (1.5BB) is preferred over half-pot to pressure underpairs and weak floats efficiently.
Folding here is pure and disciplined. Our gutshot has minimal equity against a check-raising range that heavily targets our delayed stab. **Ranges:** BB's turn check-raise is heavily polarized toward trips (such as K9s or K8s), full houses, and open-ended semi-bluffs like QJ. Against this strong distribution, our ace-high has virtually zero showdown value. **Math:** We are getting 2.7:1 pot odds, requiring 27.3% equity to continue. With only four outs to an inside straight—some of which can chop or lose to boats—we have barely 9% direct equity and terrible implied odds. --- > **Takeaway:** Never chase weak gutshots when facing turn check-raises on paired boards without significant redraw value.
