Turn Analysis

Leading the turn is a strong play after the BTN checks back the flop. We have improved to a full house and need to start building the pot, though an overbet is preferred to polarize our range. **Ranges:** The BTN's flop check caps them significantly, often excluding top sets or the strongest Queens. Our range now has a massive value advantage with trips and boats like 43s or 64s that want to charge their overcards and draws. **Sizing:** While we bet 75% pot, solver leans toward a 125% pot overbet (6.9BB). This larger sizing maximizes value from sticky Qx hands and pocket pairs like JJ-88 while putting maximum pressure on their newly picked-up spade draws. **Plan:** If called, we are looking to jam most rivers. The only concern is a Queen, which could give Villain a better full house if they hold AQ, but otherwise, we are playing for stacks. --- > **Takeaway:** When the preflop aggressor checks back a dry flop and you turn a monster, use large lead sizes to capitalize on their capped range.
