Flop
7♠ T♦ T♥

With trips on a dry paired board at 20BB depth, we prioritize getting the money in against overpairs and draws.

Flop Analysis

While raising is a strong option, calling is the preferred strategy to keep UTG's bluffs in and protect our range on a dry board.

Note: Raising here is slightly over-eager; calling allows Villain to continue with air and overcards that would fold to a raise.

Flop Analysis

Once the action escalates and UTG jams, we have a trivial call with trips; we are at the top of our range and the pot odds are massive.
