2-3-5 ($2 live on the button).
Hero in BB with $850 stack has K
K
. EP and MP call $5, BTN raises to $25, SB folds. BTN is kind of nitty multiway but can be surprisingly aggressive head-up. BTN covers hero. Hero elects to just flat-call BTN's raise. So does EP, and MP folds. $77 in pot after the drop.
Flop: J 4

Hero checks, EP checks, BTN bets $50. Hero raises to $150. MP folds. BTN pauses for a couple of seconds before calling. $377 in pot, $675 remaining in hero's stack.
Turn: J42 Q
Hero bets $250. BTN pauses for ten seconds, then raises to $750 -- $500 to call, but hero has only $425.
Without the K, hero doesn't block backdoor club draws, but KK does block straight draws. Even with the flop raise, hero's hand is underrepped; range should look capped but actually isn't.
$877 in main pot, $425 to call. MDR is 67%.
Is KK high enough in our range to call?
