Checking is the preferred play here after the board pairs and brings the flush draw home. We retain low showdown equity with King-high and can comfortably check to see a river.
Checking is our primary action here, though this combo occasionally mixes into our bluffing frequency. When we do choose to bluff, solver reaches for a full pot overbet rather than a three-quarters sizing to maximize fold equity against missed broadways and weak pocket pairs. **Ranges:** LJ checked back the turn, capping their range and leaving them heavy with middling showdown value like 99, 66, and weak pairs. Our river bluff must target those hands, but King-high doesn't block LJ's calling region as effectively as hands holding an Ace or spade blocker. **Sizing:** A full pot sizing (6.7BB) puts maximum pressure on LJ's bluff-catchers. Betting 5.0BB accomplishes less fold equity while still risking significant chips OOP. --- > **Takeaway:** When turning missed high cards into river bluffs after a turn check-back, polarize to pot or check to give up cheaply.
Note: Checking is the primary line (~69%); when bluffing, prefer a polarized full-pot bet over an awkward 3/4 sizing.
Trivial fold facing the river min-raise. We hold no showdown value, and LJ's raise represents flushes, trips, or full houses that easily beat our board pair.
