Why
T♠7♠7♦ is a paired board where the BB's donk-lead reps trips or a flush draw, but the BTN's range still connects well. K♠Q♠ is two overcards with the king-high spade flush draw and a backdoor straight — no pair yet, but big equity. In position, calling the lead is correct: hero realizes the flush and overcard outs cheaply, keeps the BB's bluffs in, and avoids bloating the pot with a non-made hand by raising.
Key idea
A king-high flush draw with two overcards is a clean call versus a paired-board lead in position.
Common mistake
Raising a bare flush draw on a paired board and getting blown off equity by trips.
