Turn Analysis

Betting is mandatory now that we improve to a full house, though opting for a larger sizing extracts significantly more value from SB's continuing range. **Ranges:** SB checks twice and retains holdings like turned two pairs with a queen, pocket pairs, and flushes that called preflop and slowplayed the flop. We lose only to quads, so our hand functions as absolute value. **Sizing:** Prefer sizing up toward 4.1BB (~80% pot). An over-half-pot bet applies geometric pressure on made flushes and second pairs that are not folding, whereas half pot misses value. --- > **Takeaway:** When you turn a full house after trapping the flop, size up to build the pot against sticky made hands.
