Flop Analysis
Betting and checking are virtually indifferent in EV here, making a semi-bluff c-bet completely viable. While a slightly smaller sizing around a third-pot is preferred, betting pressures BB's weak floats while retaining equity to improve. **Ranges:** This board connects heavily with BB's defending range, but we hold the uncapped broadway straights and top sets that preserve our overall range advantage. **Blockers:** Holding the Ace of hearts removes nut straight combos like AK while providing a nut backdoor flush draw that gives us profitable barrel cards on future streets. **Sizing:** A small bet achieves maximum fold equity against air and weak underpairs without over-investing out of position on a dynamic board. --- > **Takeaway:** On connected broadway boards, use hands with nut straight blockers and backdoor draws to round out your semi-bluffing range.
