Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
When you turn a boat on a paired board, start building the pot yourself to extract value from trips and overpairs.

Leading here is a strong strategic choice. By turning a full house, we now have a massive range advantage and need to start building the pot before the river. **Ranges:** Our range is now value-heavy with full houses (7x) and trips (9x). CO has many overcards like AK or AQ that will check back if we don't bet, missing a street of value. **Board:** The second pair on board makes the texture static for our specific hand. We are only losing to quads or a higher boat like 97, making this a clear spot to lead. --- > **Takeaway:** When the turn gives you a monster hand that was previously marginal, don't be afraid to lead (donk bet) to ensure the money gets in.
Betting is mandatory, but our sizing is slightly too large. A smaller bet around 7BB (half pot) is more effective at inducing calls from worse two-pair hands or thin flushes. **Sizing:** We bet 10.9BB into 14.6BB (75% pot). At this shallow SPR, a smaller sizing allows Villain to continue with a wider range of bluff-catchers like Kx or pocket pairs. **Blockers:** Holding the Ac is relevant as it blocks some of Villain's potential Ax bluffs, but we primarily want to target their Kx and diamond flushes that just arrived. --- > **Takeaway:** When value betting the river at low SPR, use a sizing that keeps Villain's marginal bluff-catchers in the pot.
Note: Sizing is slightly too large; a half-pot bet induces more calls from Kx and marginal pairs than a 75% pot bet.
This is a trivial call. We are getting massive pot odds to call a tiny raise, and our full house is near the top of our range.
