Flop Analysis
C-betting here is a viable mix. We hold the range advantage on Ace-high textures, and our hand has enough backdoor potential to justify a high-frequency stab.
While c-betting air on Ace-high boards is standard, barreling the turn when the flush completes is a significant mistake that burns EV.

Betting is a significant error. The 2s is one of the worst cards in the deck for us, as it completes the flush and shifts the range advantage toward the Big Blind.
Note: Barreling into a completed flush with zero equity is a massive leak; we must check to realize our thin high-card equity.
Checking back is the only play. We improved to second pair, which has decent showdown value but cannot be bet for value against a range containing flushes and Aces.
