River Analysis

Betting as a bluff makes strategic sense, but checking is our highest-frequency baseline. When we do pull the trigger with Ace-high, sizing up to full pot exerts maximum leverage. **Ranges:** Once UTG checks the turn behind, their range is heavily capped at middle pocket pairs like 99-TT, weak Kings, and missed overcards. We hold a distinct range advantage with all the rivered straights and flushes. **Sizing:** A 75% pot stab allows stubborn bluff-catchers like one-pair holdings to call. Sizing up to a full pot bet (12.2BB) better polarizes our range and folds out weak Kings and pocket pairs. --- > **Takeaway:** When turning high card into a river bluff against a capped range, commit to a polarized sizing to fold out medium showdown value.
