The button on average when checked to. Use the lists to compare paired boards, monotone flops and connected boards, or enter a specific flop below. These are separate solves for each board, using a third-pot and a three-quarter-pot c-bet menu.

Read the original 1,755-flop c-bet study for the suit comparison with ranks held constant, the exceptions and how weighting changes the average.

Enter three cards, such as Ks 7d 2c: king of spades, seven of diamonds, two of clubs. Use s, h, d and c for suits; T or 10 for ten. Equivalent suits lead to one summary.

Reading a summary

The action table describes whole ranges. The category table splits the button's betting into sets, pairs, draws and air, showing how often each category bets and which size it uses. A percentile compares that board with the full set; the peer average compares boards of the same texture and top rank. Similar-flop links let you change a rank and compare the result.

These frequencies describe this range, stack depth and bet menu. They do not prescribe an action for a particular starting hand. Rounded values may differ slightly from totals; an absent category has no betting frequency. Read the solve settings and limits before applying the numbers to a different game.
