Scenario: Game: No-Limit Hold'em | Format: Cash Game | Blinds/Antes: 1/2, no ante | Effective Stacks: 100 bb | Hero Position: BB | Pot Size: 10. Board: T♥ 7♥ 2♦. Hero: Q♠ J♠. BTN bets 5 bb. If BTN has AT and KT, why are Hero's Queen and Jack outs 'equity-killers'?

1. Because BTN will fold every time a Q or J hits.
2. Because the Rule of 2 says Hero only has 4% equity.
3. Because they encourage Hero to call further bets while remaining behind a superior kicker.
4. Because Hero blocks the BTN's bluffs by holding the Q and J. (under this line) (under this line)
