Flop
2♦ 2♥ 9♠

Use a small sizing on paired boards to leverage your range advantage, then check back turn when the board connects with the defender's range.

Flop Analysis

Betting small is a strong play here. Paired boards favor the preflop aggressor, allowing us to bet a high frequency with our entire range to put pressure on the BB's air.

Turn Analysis

Checking back is the most robust play. The Ten is a better card for the BB's defending range (T9s, JTs, QTs) and our A-high has enough showdown value to check.

River Analysis

Folding is the only viable option. We have zeroed out our equity, and A7-high is at the very bottom of our range, making it a poor candidate to call a 66% pot bet.
