With an overpair in a low SPR 4-bet pot, we should prioritize small bets to keep Villain's range wide and maximize equity realization.
Flop Analysis
Betting small is the preferred play. Our overpair has 77% equity, and a 25-30% pot sizing forces SB to continue with many hands we dominate while protecting against their flush draws.
**Ranges:** We have a massive range advantage here, holding all the overpairs (AA-KK) and sets (QQ) that SB often just calls with preflop. SB's range is concentrated in middle pairs like 99-JJ and nut flush draws like AsJs.
**Sizing:** Small sizing (14-17BB) is optimal in 4-bet pots with a low SPR. It allows us to keep Villain's weaker pairs and high-card hands in the pot while setting up an easy shove on most turns.

> **Takeaway:** In 4-bet pots with low SPR, use small c-bet sizes to maximize value from dominated pairs and high cards.
Turn Analysis
The pairing of the Queen is generally good for us, as it reduces the number of trips in SB's range. While the solver mixes between a small bet and a shove, our large sizing is a slight overplay compared to the preferred block-bet strategy.
**Board:** The Qh is a relatively safe card; it makes it harder for SB to have a Queen and doesn't complete the spade flush draw. However, it does bring a second flush draw (hearts) into play.
**Sizing:** The solver strongly prefers a small sizing (around 23BB) to keep SB's range wide. By shoving for nearly 60BB, we allow SB to fold out their weaker bluff-catchers like 99-JJ and only call with hands that have us crushed, like slow-played sets or the occasional Qx.

> **Takeaway:** When the board pairs the top card, lean toward smaller sizings to keep Villain's mid-pairs curious.
Note: Sizing is too large; a smaller bet better targets Villain's middle pairs and keeps their range wide.
