2♦ 6♥ 8♠

With an overpair on a dry board, we should prioritize larger bet sizes to maximize value and leverage our massive range advantage.

Flop Analysis

While betting small is fine, solver prefers using massive sizes here to punish the BB's capped range. Our overpair is functionally the nuts on this texture and needs to start building a pot that can threaten stacks by the river.

Note: Sizing is too small; on dry, low boards, we should use larger sizes (66% pot to overbets) to maximize value with our overpairs and put BB's marginal pairs in a tough spot.
