Flop Analysis
Calling or raising are both balanced options against BB's min-lead, though calling is slightly preferred to control the pot with third pair. While raising punishes weak stabs, our sizing is unnecessarily large at 20BB depth. **Math:** Facing a 1.1BB bet into 5.1BB, we get 5.6:1 pot odds and need only ~15% equity to continue, making a call completely trivial. **Ranges:** BB's leading range is condensed and wide, containing gutshots and low pairs like 7x or 6x trying to set a cheap price. Raising punishes hands like 85s or 54s, but committing 4.8BB commits nearly a quarter of our stack with bottom pair. **Sizing:** When choosing to raise as a mix, a smaller sizing around 3.1BB achieves full fold equity against air and underpairs without over-investing against BB's top pairs or two pairs. --- > **Takeaway:** When raising against small probes with marginal pairs, keep the sizing compact to deny equity without bloating the pot at shallow depths.
