Preflop: 33 can be an open at a certain frequency. Some players won't open it from EP/MP while others open all pocket pairs from all positions.

Flop: Ah Qs 4c. An amazing board for our range vs BB calling range. I went for a 1/3 pot size bet. PIO prefers a 2/3 pot size bet. I will have to look into this a bit further but I think that based on my study so far PIO prefers using larger sizings in SRP when in EP/MP (when ranges are stronger) and smaller bets in CO/BTN (stay tuned for results on that one!). We get a call from BB and we head to the turn.

Turn: 7c. This shouldn't change anything except for bringing in a backdoor flush draw. Some two pair combos for BB (A7, Q7 etc), but nothing to be worried about. I go for an overbet which PIO likes whether we use a small or big sizing. BB calls.

River: 5c. It checks to me and I decide to go for another overbet. PIO doesn't like this on the river as it is possible that BB has some flushes in range. If the river was the 5h PIO likes an overbet.

Lesson: In a SRP pot we can overbet the turn to start making max value when the turn card isn't favorable for the villain (i.e. when it is a brick!).
