Flop
3♦ 9♥ K♠

We leverage a massive range advantage on the flop with a small c-bet, then mix checking and overbetting on the turn to keep Villain's range under pressure.

Flop Analysis

We have a massive equity advantage (63%) on this King-high rainbow texture. A small sizing allows us to bet a high frequency of our range, including our air and backdoor draws.

Turn Analysis

The turn is a mix between checking and overbetting. While we bet slightly smaller than the solver's preferred overbet, the logic remains the same: we are polarizing our range.
