Use wheel Aces as 4-bet bluffs to capitalize on blockers, then leverage your overpair advantage on low boards with small c-bets.

Flop Analysis

On this low, connected board, we maintain a massive range advantage. SB's 4-bet calling range is capped, whereas we hold all the overpairs. **Ranges:** We have a significant nut advantage here. We hold every combo of AA, KK, QQ, and JJ, while SB likely shoves AA/KK preflop and may fold some JJ/TT to the 4-bet. This allows us to bet at a high frequency. **Sizing:** A small 25% pot bet is highly effective. It puts SB's overcards (like AQ/KJs) in a miserable spot, forcing them to either fold their equity or call with very little chance of improving against our overpairs. --- > **Takeaway:** When you hold a massive overpair advantage on low boards, use small c-bets to deny equity to your opponent's overcards.
