T♥ 6♦ 5♣

After flop raise getting called, the 4s turn gives us a strong straight; we should bet big, around 125% pot, to maximize value from worse straights and strong draws.

Flop Analysis

On T65r, we have an open-ender plus backdoor hearts. The board is very draw-heavy, and BU has the slight range advantage, so checking our entire range is the default. Solver likes a small c-bet with some hands, but with 87s, checking is the preferred line.

Flop Analysis

Facing a small BU c-bet, 87s is a strong candidate to raise. We have a strong draw, good blockers to some of BU's bluffs, and we're out of position, so a big raise works well. Solver prefers an overbet raise here, but a smaller raise like 8.4BB is still a solid, high-EV line.

Turn Analysis

The 4s turn completes our straight. After BU calls our flop raise, their range is weighted toward strong draws and pairs, and this card is excellent for us. Solver wants a big bet here, around 125% pot, to extract maximum value from worse straights (6x, 5x, 7x) and strong draws (A5, 76, 65) that still have decent equity.
