4♦ 7♥ 8♠

With an overpair out of position on a connected texture, both checking and betting are EV-neutral, but betting prefers a larger size to charge draws.

Flop Analysis

Betting and checking are practically EV-indifferent here with our overpair, making aggression fully viable. However, when we choose to bet, sizing up closer to three-quarters pot accomplishes far more than a half-pot stab.
