With top pair turning into two pair on the river, use a larger sizing to target Villain's sticky Ax and pocket pairs.

Flop Analysis

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

Flop Analysis

Facing a small 1/3 pot bet, we have an easy call. Our hand is too strong to fold and raising would mostly isolate us against better hands like sets (77, 33) or AK.

Turn Analysis

Checking is correct after the flush completes. We don't have a spade, so we need to play cautiously and let Villain decide if they want to continue bluffing with their air.

River Analysis

Betting is the right move after Villain checks back the turn, but we should size up significantly. A small bet allows Villain to easily call with marginal hands while missing out on value from their sticky Ax.

Note: Sizing is too small; solver prefers an overbet (125% pot) to maximize value against Villain's capped range of Ax and pocket pairs.
