Leverage the nut flush draw by mixing aggression on low boards to maximize fold equity and realize your equity when called.
Flop Analysis
While checking is the frequent play to protect our range, betting small with the nut flush draw is a viable alternative that pressures CO's overcards.
**Ranges:** CO has a slight equity advantage (51.5%) because this low, connected board hits their flatting range (66, 44, 87s) harder than our high-card heavy 3-bet range.
**Board:** The 7-high texture is dynamic; while we have the overpair advantage (AA-JJ), CO has more natural 7x and straight draws (46s, 68s).
**Sizing:** Using a 1/2 pot sizing (10.3BB) is a middle-ground approach; however, solver frequencies suggest that when we do bet, we should lean toward an overbet to polarize against CO's middle pairs.

> **Takeaway:** On low, wet boards as the 3-bettor, checking the nut flush draw frequently protects your range, but betting can exploit opponents who over-fold overcards.
Turn Analysis
Shoving is a high-variance but theoretically sound semi-bluff that maximizes fold equity against CO's pocket pairs and weaker draws.
**Ranges:** The board pairing the 7h is better for us than CO, as it reduces their 7x combos and makes our overpairs (AA-JJ) much more stable value hands.
**Math:** With an SPR of 1.9, we are committed to the pot with the nut flush draw; shoving realizes our equity immediately by forcing folds from hands like 88-TT or weaker spade draws.
**Sizing:** The jam is a polarized move; we are representing trips (7x) or overpairs while using our nut flush draw as the primary semi-bluff to balance the range.

> **Takeaway:** When the SPR is low and you hold the nut draw on a paired board, aggressive shoving can force folds from better marginal made hands.
