While our pair has equity, leading into the aggressor on a card that improves their range is a significant strategic error.

Leading here is a significant mistake. While the 6s gives us a gutshot, it is a 'donk bet' that allows Villain to play perfectly against us. **Ranges:** The HJ still holds the range advantage with overpairs like TT-AA and sets of 99. By leading, we fold out the bluffs we want Villain to continue barreling and isolate ourselves against their value range. **Sizing:** If we were to lead, a small 33% pot sizing would be preferred to keep their range wide. Our large 75% pot lead is far too polar for a hand that is essentially a weak bluff-catcher with a draw. **Plan:** The correct play is to check and evaluate. If Villain checks back, we realize our equity for free; if they bet, we can decide based on sizing whether to peel for our straight or fold. --- > **Takeaway:** Avoid leading into the aggressor on turns that don't drastically shift the nut advantage in your favor.
Note: Leading the turn (donk betting) is a major strategic error; it folds out Villain's bluffs and forces you to play a large pot against a range that crushes you.
