We used our positional advantage and range lead to barrel a nut flush draw and then extracted value when the spade arrived.
Flop Analysis
Betting small is the preferred strategy here. We hold a significant range advantage on King-high textures, and our nut flush draw functions as a high-equity semi-bluff that can comfortably barrel many turns.
**Ranges:** We have a massive value advantage (43% vs 14%) because we hold all the sets (KK, 66, 22) and AK, while UTG's calling range is capped and condensed toward middle pairs like JJ-77.
**Board:** This semi-wet texture favors the aggressor; the King hits our 3-betting range perfectly, allowing us to bet at a very high frequency with our entire range.
**Sizing:** A small 33% pot sizing (5.4BB) is ideal here. It forces UTG's pocket pairs and Ace-highs into a difficult spot while keeping the pot manageable if we miss our draw.
---
> **Takeaway:** On K-high boards as the 3-bettor, use a small sizing to leverage your range advantage and push equity with your draws.
Turn Analysis
After turning the nut flush, we must continue for value. While the range strategy leans toward checking to protect our weaker holdings, our specific hand is at the very top of our range and needs to build the pot.
**Ranges:** The Ts is a dynamic card; while it completes our flush, it also gives UTG's range many flush draws (like QsJs or 8s7s) and two-pair hands (KTs) that will not fold to a bet.
**Sizing:** The 50% pot sizing (13.7BB) is effective for targeting UTG's remaining Kx and pair+draw hands. It sets up a comfortable river shove to play for stacks.
**Plan:** Since we hold the absolute nuts, our goal is to maximize the pot. If called, we are looking to jam almost any river, as the board is unpaired and our hand cannot be beaten.

> **Takeaway:** When you turn the nuts in position, prioritize building the pot rather than trapping, especially when the board remains dynamic.
