When flopping the nut flush, prioritize building a massive pot immediately rather than trapping, especially on boards that can pair.

Flop Analysis

We have flopped the absolute nuts. While checking is a viable mix to protect our range, betting for a larger size (65% pot) is preferred to start building the pot immediately on a dynamic texture.

Turn Analysis

The board pairing is slightly better for the Big Blind's range, but we must continue betting. An overbet is the preferred sizing here to maximize value against Villain's flushes and trips.

River Analysis

We have a mandatory value bet on the river. While we lose to rare full houses like 99 or 33, we beat all other flushes and trips that Villain is incentivized to bluff-catch with.
