Single-Raised Pot
Flop
2♠ 3♠ 9♥

We played our overpair aggressively on a wet board to protect against draws and extract value from weaker pairs.

Flop Analysis

Checking is a strong mixed strategy here to protect our range on a board that connects well with the BB's calling range.

Flop Analysis

Once the BB stabs, we must raise for value and protection. Our overpair is too strong to just call on such a draw-heavy texture.

Turn Analysis

The turn is a mandatory bet. While the third spade is scary, our Qs is a crucial blocker and we still have a massive equity advantage against the BB's range.
