Why is everyone giving up here?

A huge part of his range folds to a c-bet, especially on weak-tight UB.

A K never checks here in Nath's spot, so why check? (not really *ever*, but were not c/r here so go for the obv. play)

If raised 95% of the time we are drawing to 4 outs, maybe 7, so I think bet/fold is best. Something like 1750 or so.

If called were usually beat too, so unless a J comes c/f.

I am not a great player, but I think we give up too much just giving up here, especially on UB.

This isn't a cash game where we are trying to play perfect poker, this is a tourney where we are trying to win pots, and this one is very winnable.

I think pretty decent chances to win the pot by checking against a random opponent. I think low pairs will often check and then fold to a turn bet, even if we don't improve. Meanwhile hands that are stronger than an underpair here are going to have a difficult time folding this flop.
