Flop Analysis
Betting small is the preferred strategy here. This board heavily favors our opening range, which contains all the strongest hands like AK, KQ, and AA that the Button would usually 3-bet preflop. **Ranges:** We have a significant nut advantage with AA, KK, and QQ, while the Button's range is capped to mostly medium pairs and suited connectors. Our A6o functions as a range-betting candidate that denies equity to the Button's random floats. **Board:** The King and Queen are excellent cards for the aggressor. Since the board is rainbow, there are no flush draws to worry about, making it harder for the Button to continue without a piece of the board. **Sizing:** A small sizing (around 25-33% pot) is effective here because it puts the Button's marginal hands like 77-JJ in a difficult spot while keeping the pot manageable at this 2.9 SPR. --- > **Takeaway:** On broadway-heavy boards where you have a nut advantage, use small c-bets to pressure capped ranges.
