Flop Analysis
While checking is fine, this is a premier semi-bluffing candidate that benefits from folding out better high cards and generating immediate fold equity.
We should use our open-ended straight draw as a primary semi-bluff on the flop and turn, then follow through on the river when our range has a massive nut advantage.
While checking is fine, this is a premier semi-bluffing candidate that benefits from folding out better high cards and generating immediate fold equity.
After checking back the flop, we should lean toward a larger sizing to polarize our range on the paired turn.
Note: Small sizing on a paired turn after checking back flop is less effective; solver prefers a larger 80% pot bet to maximize pressure with our draws and value.
We have a mandatory call against the check-raise. We are getting over 2:1 and have 8 clean outs to the nuts plus some overcard equity.
Our river bet is a strong theoretical play, though the sizing could be more optimized. We have a massive range advantage here.
Note: While betting is correct, the pot-sized shove is slightly less efficient than a medium 55% pot sizing which targets SB's capped bluff-catchers more effectively.
