Flop Analysis
Auto-played to reach this drill spot — you didn't act here, so it isn't scored.
When you bink a full house on the river after the action goes check-check, you must lead out for value rather than checking again.

Checking here is a significant value loss. After the turn went check-check, HJ's range is capped, and they are very likely to check back their marginal hands like 9x or JJ. We need to lead out to ensure we get paid. **Ranges:** We have a massive value advantage here with all the Ax and boats in our range that HJ would have bet on the turn. HJ is mostly holding board pairs like QJ or pocket pairs like TT that will check back but might call a small bet. **Sizing:** A small 33% pot bet (2.5BB) is ideal. It targets HJ's weak showdown value hands like 9x or 88, which are forced into a tough spot but will often pay off a small sizing while folding to anything larger. **Plan:** By checking, we lose the chance to extract value from the 62% of HJ's range that consists of simple board pairs. We should only check-trap if we are certain HJ is highly aggressive and will bluff, but most players will take the free showdown. --- > **Takeaway:** When the board pairs and gives you a monster after a checked turn, lead out small to extract value from your opponent's capped 'showdown' range.
Note: Checking the river with a full house after the turn went check-check misses a mandatory value bet against a capped range.
