Checking is correct despite hitting top pair; the board is now extremely coordinated with both flushes and straights completing.
Betting is the correct play here. The board pairing the 7d is a great card for us, as it reduces the likelihood that HJ has trips and makes our two pair much stronger against their bluff-catchers. **Ranges:** We have a significant value advantage here after HJ checks back the turn. Our range contains many more 7x hands and boat possibilities than HJ, who would typically barrel their strongest hands on the turn. **Sizing:** A smaller sizing (around 33% pot) is preferred by the solver to target HJ's remaining one-pair hands like 99 or A8. Our 5BB bet is slightly large but still captures value from a capped range. **Blockers:** Holding the Qh is relevant as it unblocks HJ's potential spade bluffs while blocking some of their stronger Queen-high floats that might have improved. --- > **Takeaway:** When the board pairs the middle card on the river after a turn check-back, look to lead for value with your top-tier two pair holdings.
