Best play: Check-raise 3x
Why
87ss has a flush draw plus an open-ended straight draw, giving it ~15 outs, so check-raising the turn applies pressure with fold equity while retaining huge equity when called.
Key idea
A turn combo draw with flush and straight outs is a top check‑raise candidate because it pairs fold equity with strong equity when called.
