Illustrative hand
Setup (illustrative): 30bb effective. Hero opens middle position with T♥T♦ to 2.5bb. Cutoff calls; big blind defends. Pot ~9bb.
Flop: 9♠7♣4♥. Overpair on a coordinated low board. Hero c-bets 3bb into 9bb; cutoff raises to 8bb. Hero must call 5bb more into a ~20bb pot.
Decision fork: - Fold if the raise is value-heavy (sets, two-pair, strong 9x) and ICM / stack depth makes a call tax too hard. - Call if the raiser is wide enough that overpair + equity still print vs their continuing range. - Jam only when fold equity + equity vs a capped raise still beat a flat.
Teaching points: 1. Coordinated boards punish autopilot overpair barrels — name the raise size before calling. 2. Price the 5bb call in pot odds. 3. Run T♥T♦ on 9♠7♣4♥ vs a concrete raise range in the equity calculator.
- Open this flop board in the equity calculator.
- Price the raise with pot odds.
