2♦ K♥ A♠

On Ace-high boards that favor our range, we should use large sizes to polarize our holdings and maximize pressure on marginal pairs.

Flop Analysis

While betting is correct, our choice of a medium sizing (66% pot) misses the opportunity to fully leverage our range advantage. On this texture, we should lean toward a polarized overbet strategy to put maximum pressure on the SB's condensed range of pocket pairs and weak Kings.

Note: Sizing is suboptimal; an overbet (130% pot) is preferred to polarize our range and maximize fold equity against middle pairs.
