J♠ Q♦ Q♥

We correctly called a turn lead on a double-paired board and extracted value when our hand improved to a full house on the river.

Flop Analysis

Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.

Turn Analysis

When the board double-pairs and the BB leads small, we must call. Our overpair has been demoted to a bluff-catcher, but the price is too good to fold.

River Analysis

The third Jack gives us a full house (J-J-J-A-A). Since the BB checked, we should bet for value, though the solver prefers a pot-sized bet over a shove.

Note: The shove is slightly too large; a pot-sized bet (11.1BB) is more effective at getting called by worse full houses like pocket pairs.
