Donk-jamming top pair on the turn isolates us against better hands and lets villain's bluffs escape for free.

Turn Analysis

Open-shoving for over a pot-sized bet burns the showdown value of top pair and narrows villain's continuing range to hands that crush us. **Ranges:** Leading all-in forces UTG to fold dominated holdings and bluffs while comfortably continuing with AK, sets (TT, 44, 55), and KT. **Plan:** Checking to the raiser lets UTG fire bluffs or check back weaker made hands, keeping the pot manageable at an SPR near 1.2. --- > **Takeaway:** Avoid open-jamming medium-strength made hands on blank turns; check to keep your opponent's bluffs in the pot.

Note: Donk-shoving the turn over pot isolates you against stronger holdings like AK, two pair, and sets while folding out all bluffs.
