J♠ Q♦ Q♥

With an overpair on a paired board, bet small to keep Villain's marginal bluff-catchers in while protecting against their trips.

Flop Analysis

Betting is the preferred play here. We have a massive equity advantage (83%) and want to extract value from hands like Jx, TT, or 99 that the BB might check-call.

Note: Sizing is slightly too large; a 33% pot bet is more effective at keeping Villain's range wide and vulnerable.
