Call the flop overbet with strong multi-street drawing equity, but cleanly fold the turn when an overbet ruins your price.

Flop Analysis

Checking our entire range is standard here. This wet, connected board heavily favors the caller's condensed range of pair-plus-draw combos.

Flop Analysis

Calling this large bet is clearly correct. Despite facing a 130% pot overbet, our king-high flush draw possesses ample multi-street equity and clean outs against button's wide stabbing range.

Turn Analysis

Checking to the in-position bettor remains mandatory. The ace improves both players' ranges, and we must check to control the pot with our drawing holding.

Turn Analysis

Folding here is pure and disciplined. With only one street remaining, our nine flush outs offer roughly 18% equity, which falls well short of the price demanded by this second overbet. **Math:** Facing a 125% pot sizing of 27.3BB into 21.9BB, we need 35.7% equity to continue. Our flush draw only has about 18% raw equity to complete on the river. **Plan:** With stack-to-pot ratio dipping close to 1, implied odds evaporate. Calling off over a quarter of our remaining stack without the odds to get there is severely -EV. --- > **Takeaway:** Never chase non-nut draws on the turn when an overbet strips away your implied odds.
