With the absolute nuts on a board where you block the most likely continuing hands, call the raise to keep bluffs in rather than shoving.
Flopping the nut straight is a dream scenario, but our sizing should be more aggressive to maximize the pot.
Note: Sizing is too small; on a wet broadway board, a larger bet (50-60% pot) extracts more value from a wide range of pairs and draws.
Shoving is a significant strategic error because it forces the BB to fold almost all their bluffs while we have the board locked down. **Ranges:** BB's raise includes two-pairs (KQ, QJ) and bluffs like T9 or 98. By shoving, we let them fold the bluffs that might have continued barreling on the turn. **Blockers:** We hold the Ace and Ten, which are key cards for the BB's continuing range. Since we block so much of what they could call a shove with, calling is the only way to keep their range wide. **Math:** With an SPR of 2.2, the money is easily going in by the river. Calling preserves the chance for BB to make a second mistake on the turn by bluffing again. --- > **Takeaway:** When you have the absolute nuts and block the opponent's calling range, call their raise to keep their bluffs in the pot.
Note: Shoving the nuts here is a massive overplay that folds out all of Villain's bluffs; calling is the only GTO move to protect your equity realization.
