Single-Raised Pot
Flop
4♦ 4♥ J♠

Checking back a dry flop with K-high allows us to realize equity and profitably stab on turn cards that improve our range advantage.

Flop Analysis

Checking back is a solid play here. While we have a massive range advantage on this paired board, K9h functions well as a check-back to protect our range and realize equity.

Turn Analysis

After the BB checks a second time, stabbing is highly effective. The Queen is a great card for our UTG range, and we now have a gutshot to the nuts to go along with our King-high.
