Preflop: Standard open on the BTN. Could be a questionable call vs the 3bet against some opponents, but given the small sizing I go ahead and make the call.

Flop: BB should lead full range here (mostly for small sizing). BTN should call here with 75hh.

Turn: Jd. BB checks. PIO likes to check back 75hh here and take the free equity. It probably would hate to face a x-raise. Facing a bet the BB makes a questionable call with TT (PIO is folding nearly all of the time as TT blocks most of BTN's bluffs (AT, KT and T9).

River: If it goes X, X on turn as the hand is meant too. We obviously fold river to a bet, and x back 80% of the time when checked too. PIO prefers bluffing missed flush draws that block BB's calling range.

Lessons: Take free equity. When bluffing a missed flush draw think about blockers.
