A8o BB on 865r: Top Pair Value Extraction

Hero
A♠8♣
Position
BB vs SB
Pot
Single-Raised Pot
Flop
5♠ 6♥ 8♠

We successfully extracted value with top pair on a dynamic board by betting the flop and river while checking a tricky turn.

Flop Analysis

When SB checks this wet texture, we should frequently bet to protect our equity and extract value from draws and weaker pairs.

Turn Analysis

Checking back is a solid play; the board pairing the 6 is better for SB's range and our hand now functions well as a bluff-catcher.

River Analysis

After SB checks a third time, we have a clear value bet with our two pair against their capped range of missed draws and pocket pairs.
