Flop Analysis
A paired, semi-wet board requires a balanced approach. While our overpair is very strong, checking allows us to protect our weaker range and induce bluffs from the BTN.
While our overpair is strong, we must navigate paired boards carefully to avoid bloating the pot against hidden trips or boats.

The King is a great card for our range, but our specific hand prefers checking to bluff-catch rather than betting large and isolating ourselves against better hands.
Note: Betting large here is thin; checking is preferred to let BTN bluff their missed draws or value bet worse pairs.
With the SPR now below 1, we are committed. Shoving and checking are virtually identical in EV, making this a pure mix.
