Flop Analysis
Betting small is the preferred strategy here. With an overpair on a wet board in a 4-bet pot, we want to extract value from Jx, Tx, and spade draws without forcing them to fold immediately. **Ranges:** Our 4-betting range has a massive nut advantage (AA, KK, QQ), while the SB's calling range is condensed toward hands like JJ-88, AQs, and KQs. We want to bet frequently to deny equity to their overcards and draws. **Sizing:** A 25% pot sizing is ideal because the SPR is already very low (1.6). This small bet allows us to comfortably shove most turns while keeping Villain's weaker bluff-catchers in the pot. **Board:** The two spades and connected nature of the board make it dynamic. While we have a strong hand, many turn cards (any spade, Q, 9, 8) can shift the equity, so we must start building the pot now. --- > **Takeaway:** In low SPR 4-bet pots, use small c-bet sizes (25-33%) to maximize the frequency of your value bets and keep the opponent's range wide.
Note: Sizing is slightly too large; a smaller 25% pot bet is preferred to keep Villain's marginal hands and draws wider.
