Scenario: Game: No-Limit Hold'em | Format: Cash Game | Blinds/Antes: 1/2, no ante | Effective Stacks: 200 | Hero Position: Button | Pot Size:120. On the river K♦ 8♠ 4♣ 2♦ 9♦, you hold A♦ 5♣ (nut flush blocker). Villain bets $120. If Villain is an 'under-bluffer', why might your blocker still be a fold?

1. Blockers improve a ratio but cannot manufacture a numerator
2. The rake cap makes calling here higher risk
3. You already have enough MDF with your made hands (under this line)
4. The A♦ blocks Villain's folding range
