Use a small 4-bet preflop and a small flop c-bet to pressure a condensed range on a King-high board.

Flop Analysis

We have a massive range advantage on this King-high board. A small c-bet forces the SB's pocket pairs (TT, JJ) into a miserable spot while realizing our equity. **Ranges:** We hold all the sets (KK, 99) and overpairs (AA) that the SB likely 3-bet/shoved preflop. Villain's range is heavy with hands like TT-QQ and AQs which must now decide whether to peel against our range of monsters. **Board:** The rainbow texture is extremely dry, meaning there are few draws to worry about. This allows us to use a small sizing (around 25-30% pot) to maximize the efficiency of our bluffs. **Blockers:** Our Ad is a crucial card, as it blocks the SB's potential AdQd or AdJd floats while giving us backdoor flush potential to barrel on diamond turns. --- > **Takeaway:** On dry, high-card boards where you have the range advantage, use small c-bets to pressure condensed ranges.
