SB vs BTN · 3-Bet Pot
On 9♥ 8♥ 7♠, the small blind, as the 3-bettor, checks back far more than it bets against the button, c-betting only 4%. No hand bets more often than it checks. This texture hits the caller's range as hard as the raiser's, so 0 of the 38 hands in range are mixed between betting and checking.

How this board compares with nine other textures, and why frequency and size move separately: the flop c-bet study.

C-betting 9♥ 8♥ 7♠ as SB

Connected and middling boards flip the maths. The caller's range, full of suited connectors and pairs, connects with this texture as well as or better than the raiser's, so the range advantage shrinks or disappears. When you do not own the board, betting into it folds out what you beat and gets raised by what beats you, so the solver checks a large share of the range.

Read the grid by cell colour: teal is the small c-bet (5.6bb), amber a larger bet, and the dark fill is a check-back. A split cell is a mixed frequency.
