Flop Analysis
Betting small is the preferred strategy here. We hold a significant range advantage with all the overpairs (AA-QQ) that SB lacks after just calling the 4-bet.
In a 4-bet pot, use your range advantage to barrel air with high equity and blockers, but follow through on the river to maximize fold equity.

The Tc is a great barrel card. It adds a gutshot to our hand and hits our range harder than SB's condensed range of middle pairs.
Checking back is a significant missed opportunity. In this polarized spot with a tiny SPR, we must shove to fold out SB's remaining middle pairs and missed draws.
Note: Checking back allows Villain to win with all their middle pairs; a shove is mandatory to realize our fold equity in this polarized spot.
