Flop Analysis
Betting small is a strong choice here. While the paired board is neutral for range equity, our K-high flush draw has enough equity to benefit from immediate folds while building a pot for when we hit.
We successfully used a high-equity flush draw to pressure a capped range on a paired board.

Continuing the aggression on the turn is excellent. The 2h is largely a brick, and by betting, we maximize our fold equity against the CO's range of overcards and small pocket pairs that are now in a tough spot. **Ranges:** CO's flatting range is often capped at medium pocket pairs like 77-TT or suited broadways like QJs. By betting, we pressure these hands while retaining significant equity with our flush draw. **Board:** The paired 6s make it harder for Villain to have a strong made hand, as there are fewer combinations of trips available. This increases the effectiveness of our semi-bluff. **Sizing:** The 5.5BB bet (50% pot) is an efficient size that forces Villain to decide if their high-card hands or small pairs are worth the price of seeing a river. --- > **Takeaway:** On paired boards, use your high-equity draws to barrel and pressure capped ranges that struggle to continue without a piece of the board.
