Turn Analysis

Checking behind surrenders our momentum when we should fire a small second barrel to leverage our massive range advantage. **Ranges:** The Queen smashes our uncapped range far harder than BB's. BB's range is weighed down with hands like third pair and fourth pair (9x, 4x) and floats that fold directly to a second shell. **Blockers:** Holding the King of hearts removes combos like KTo while unblocking spade draws that BB could peel flop with, making this an ideal zero-equity bluff. **Sizing:** A 33% pot bet (6.5BB) achieves maximum fold equity per chip risked, targeting BB's marginal pair holdings without risking stack depth unnecessarily. --- > **Takeaway:** When broadway turns improve your range advantage, turn zero-equity air with good blockers into small continuous barrels.

Note: Checking gives up initiative on a card that smashes our range; fire a 33% pot barrel to fold out BB's weak pairs.

River Analysis

A clear fold facing a full-pot lead. The river spade completes backdoors, and BB's polarized bet represents flushes, sets, and two pairs that easily crush our bluff-catcher after we capped our range on the turn.
