While our overpair is strong, we must navigate a low, wet board carefully against a range that contains all the sets and overpairs.

Flop Analysis

Checking is the standard play for our entire range here. We are out of position in a 3-bet pot, and checking allows us to protect our range and realize equity.

Flop Analysis

Raising is a high-variance line that prioritizes protection on a wet board. While calling is the range-preferred play to keep the pot manageable, raising is a viable mix to charge draws.

Turn Analysis

Once we've committed most of our stack on the flop, shoving the turn is the only logical conclusion to realize our remaining equity.
