We use a small sizing on this monotone Ace-high board to leverage our range advantage while protecting our equity with the spade blocker.

Flop Analysis

Betting small is the preferred play. We hold the J♠, which is a crucial blocker to the nut flush, allowing us to bet for protection and thin value while denying equity to SB's random high-card hands.
