C-betting A♥ 5♠ 2♦ as UTG

This is a middle-ground texture: some range advantage, but enough draws and connectivity that a pure range bet is too loose. The solver picks its spots, betting the hands that want protection or fold equity and checking back the marginal made hands and the air that has nothing to gain.

The hands worth drilling on this board are the mixed ones: JJ, TT, 99, 88 and 77 and 16 more. Each is a close decision where the solver bets some of the time and checks the rest, and getting the frequency roughly right is worth more than memorising any single cell.

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.
