Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
Checking behind is completely free, so folding when checked to unnecessarily throws away all equity.

Folding when checked to is a severe error—checking behind is completely free, while continuing to barrel applies meaningful pressure to marginal holdings. **Ranges:** The small blind's turn checking range contains holdings like weak pairs, spade draws, and floated high cards. Firing a small barrel of around 4.9BB can fold out better unpaired holdings and middle pocket pairs, while checking back gives us a free river card. **Plan:** When checked to with air, mix between checking back to see a free river and firing a small bluff to maximize fold equity. Folding here immediately forfeits any chance at the pot for zero gain. --- > **Takeaway:** Never open-fold when checked to—checking back is free, and betting gives you a chance to fold out better hands.
Note: Never fold when facing a check; checking behind costs nothing and preserves equity.
