We have a mandatory call with our overpair on this paired board because the pot odds are too good to fold against a range containing many draws.
Flop Analysis
Betting for value and protection is a solid choice, though checking is the range-wide preference to navigate the three-way dynamic on a paired board.
**Ranges:** While we have the overpair advantage, both MP and BB have all the 4x (trips) in their calling ranges, which we do not block.
**Board:** The paired texture makes the board relatively static for made hands, but the two spades provide opponents with natural semi-bluffing candidates.

> **Takeaway:** In three-way pots on paired boards, overpairs like TT function as a mix between betting for protection and checking to protect our overall range.
Flop Analysis
This is a mandatory call. We have significant equity against a polarized jamming range and the price offered by the pot is too good to pass up.
**Math:** We need roughly 27% equity to break even on this call; with 55% equity against the villain's range, this is a highly profitable continue.
**Ranges:** Villain's massive shove is often polarized between monster hands like 4x and high-equity draws like AsKs or AsJs that are trying to maximize fold equity.
**Plan:** Since we are calling an all-in, our work is done; we simply need to fade the spades and any overcards to our tens.

> **Takeaway:** Do not over-fold overpairs on low paired boards when the pot odds are favorable and the opponent's range is heavily weighted toward draws.
