C-betting 9♠ 4♥ 2♦ as UTG

This is a UTG vs BB · Single-Raised Pot — the pot is heads-up with BTN as the preflop aggressor, and the flop is 9♠ 4♥ 2♦ (Low dry). The c-bet frequency here is 99%, which the texture explains almost entirely.

Dry, high-card boards like this favour the aggressor: your 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 — you deny equity cheaply and get called by worse.

Read the grid by cell colour: teal is the small c-bet (1.4bb), amber a larger bet, and the dark fill is a check-back. A split cell is a mixed frequency. The hands worth drilling are the checks inside an otherwise-betting region and the bets inside a checking region — those mixed decisions are where most postflop EV is won or lost.
