C-betting A♠ 8♦ 3♣ as SB

Dry, high-card boards like this favour the aggressor: the preflop raising range contains more of the top pairs and overpairs, and there are few draws for the caller to continue with. That range and nut advantage is why a small c-bet works at such a high frequency: it denies equity cheaply and gets called by worse.

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.
