Flop Analysis
Checking is slightly preferred here to protect our range, but betting small is a frequent mix. Our hand has good showdown value but doesn't want to build a massive pot.

Checking is slightly preferred here to protect our range, but betting small is a frequent mix. Our hand has good showdown value but doesn't want to build a massive pot.
