PLO c-bet frequencies, all 1,755 flops
Most published c-bet advice comes from a handful of example boards. This page aggregates every canonical flop in the 6-max 100bb solve for the most common single-raised pot: button opens, big blind calls, flop checks to the button.
The short answer
After the big blind checks, the button c-bets 50.7% of all flops: 34.8% as a 33%-pot bet and 15.8% as a full pot. The spread across textures is the useful part: ace-high boards get bet 56.5% and the top boards (ace plus two low disconnected cards) over 75%, while trips boards fall to 31.8% and a broadway three-straight like Q-J-T to 30.4%. Before the check even happens, the big blind leads 10.6% of flops, almost all of them low and connected. Every number reproduces the strategy the solver tool displays, board for board.

The pattern in the left column is one texture repeated: an ace, two low disconnected side cards, no trips. The caller's big-blind range folded its bare-ace junk preflop or 3-bet its good aces, so these boards belong to the opener. The right column is the mirror: trips boards where nobody has much, and the middle-connected boards where the caller's range lives.
By texture
C-bet, donk-lead and check-raise rates per texture class, with each class's share of all flops.
| Texture | Share of flops | BTN c-bet | BB donk | BB raise vs 33% | BB raise vs pot |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7-high or lower | 9.2% | 51.8% | 9.0% | 16.2% | 11.4% |
| 8-T high | 23.1% | 50.2% | 11.8% | 17.0% | 12.0% |
| K/Q/J-high | 46.0% | 47.9% | 14.3% | 16.6% | 10.6% |
| Ace-high | 21.7% | 56.5% | 2.2% | 14.9% | 8.9% |
| Trips on board | 0.2% | 31.8% | 3.9% | 2.3% | 0.6% |
| Paired | 16.9% | 48.8% | 7.7% | 13.6% | 6.4% |
| Unpaired | 82.8% | 51.1% | 11.2% | 16.9% | 11.5% |
| Rainbow | 39.8% | 55.0% | 11.4% | 19.3% | 13.3% |
| Two-tone | 55.1% | 47.8% | 9.1% | 14.8% | 9.4% |
| Monotone | 5.2% | 48.1% | 20.1% | 8.5% | 2.6% |
| Connected (span ≤ 2) | 3.2% | 38.5% | 10.3% | 10.5% | 7.1% |
| Semi-connected (span 3-4) | 13.6% | 47.4% | 12.3% | 15.7% | 10.5% |
| Disconnected | 66.0% | 52.5% | 11.1% | 17.4% | 11.9% |
Four usable rules fall out. Bet more as the highest card gets higher and less connected to the rest. Bet less as the board pairs into trips or wires into middle straights. Read the donk column as the caller's announcement: leads concentrate on exactly the low, connected, two-tone boards where the c-bet column collapses. And read the two raise columns as the mirror of the c-bet column: check-raising drops hard as the board pairs (13.6% of paired boards vs a 33% bet, 2.3% once it's trips) and drops again on ace-high - the button's best c-betting texture is the big blind's worst raising texture, because the caller simply has the fewest strong hands exactly where the opener has the most.
Spot checks you can reproduce
The same boards used across our other references, so the datasets can be checked against each other - and against the tool itself.
| Flop | BTN c-bet | BB donk |
|---|---|---|
| A♠K♦4♥ | 65.1% | 3.0% |
| T♠9♠8♥ | 33.3% | 17.7% |
| 7♣6♣5♥ | 39.4% | 12.9% |
| Q♦J♠T♥ | 30.4% | 5.0% |
| A♥Q♥6♠ | 61.2% | 2.1% |
| Q♦8♠8♦ | 37.0% | 11.2% |
The equity side of these boards is on the range advantage page: the boards the caller leads most (T-9-8, 7-6-5) are the ones where its range holds the straights, and the ace-high boards it never leads are the ones where the 3-bettor and opener dominate.
Check-raising the button's bet
Same spot, one street later: the big blind checked, the button c-bet, and now the big blind chooses between fold, call, and raise.
Facing a 33%-pot c-bet, the big blind check-raises 16.3% of flops; facing a full pot bet, 10.6%. Board texture swings this harder than anywhere else on this page: trips gets raised back only 0.6% of the time vs a pot bet, while the top of the check-raise list - disconnected rainbow boards like T62 and 983 - runs 23.6% or higher. None of the button's ten best c-bet boards (all ace-high) show up anywhere on the big blind's ten best check-raise boards (all ace-free): the caller keeps its raising equity exactly where the opener has the least reason to fire big. On A-K-4 rainbow, one of the spot-check boards below, the big blind facing a 33%-pot c-bet folds 31.6%, calls 47.4%, and raises 21.0% - a three-way mix, not a fold-or-call read.

0.0% in the "raised the least" column doesn't mean the CSV is broken - it means the solve's own strategy storage quantizes to 0.5-percentage-point steps, so the true rate is somewhere under a quarter-point, or the solve pruned the action outright. Every board on that list is trips or a big pocket pair with an overcard on board (AA-K, AA-Q, K-K-T): the caller's own range there is capped, so it has nothing to raise for value and nothing worth bluffing with either.
Methodology
Spot: 6-max 100bb, folds to the button, button opens pot, small blind folds, big blind calls; on the flop the big blind checks and the button decides between check, 33% pot, and pot. For every one of the 1,755 canonical flops, each legal four-card holding's solver strategy was read from the solve's own data files and weighted by the solve's own preflop reach range for the button (8,108 frequency mass over 16,432 hand classes). Donk rates are the same computation at the big blind's first-action node. Texture averages weight each canonical flop by its number of raw suit arrangements (summing to 22,100).
Check-raise rates read the two deeper nodes where the big blind, having checked and faced a c-bet, decides fold, call, or raise - one node per bet size. The correct weight for "check-raise vs 33%" is the big blind's own checking frequency for that hand, not the button's frequency of choosing 33% over pot: the button's bet-size split cancels out of a rate that's already conditioned on facing that size, so re-weighting by it would double-count. Internal consistency was checked by summing fold + call + raise back to 100% for all 1,755 flops at both bet sizes (3,510 checks, all within 2 percentage points, the gap being the strategy table's own quantization).
Verification: the identical pipeline reproduces the strategy the solver tool
displays in production, board for board - on the tool's current free board (Q-8-8
two-tone) the computed big-blind mix of check 88.8%,
33%-bet 8.7%, pot
2.5% matches the
tool's displayed 88.8 / 8.7 / 2.5. The check-raise fields share that same verified
decode mechanism one node deeper in the same tree; the deeper fold/call/raise node
itself was checked against the tool's Study mode on a live board (entry-node check
frequency matched to within 0.05 points) but not fully walked through to the raise
decision in the UI, so treat the check-raise numbers as verified by construction and
by the internal consistency check above, not by a second independent tool reading.

SolvePLO, "PLO C-Bet Frequencies", solveplo.app/plo-cbet-frequencies, updated July 2026. Questions
- How often should you c-bet the flop in PLO?
- In the most common 6-max single-raised pot (button opens, big blind calls, flop checks through to the button), the 100bb solve continuation-bets 50.7% of all flops after the check: 34.8% as a 33%-pot bet and 15.8% as a full pot bet. Any fixed personal frequency far from that, in either direction, is a leak against strong players.
- Which flops get c-bet the most in PLO?
- Ace-high boards with low, disconnected side cards. The top of the table is A-6-4 rainbow at 75.8%, with A-8-8, A-9-9 and A-9-4 close behind - all above 75%. Ace-high as a class runs 56.5% vs 47.9% for K/Q/J-high boards.
- Which flops should you not c-bet in PLO?
- Trips boards (31.8% as a class, with A-A-A checked back 88.7% of the time), connected middle boards, and broadway three-straights: Q-J-T gets c-bet just 30.4% because the caller's range holds the straights.
- How often does the big blind donk-bet the flop in PLO?
- 10.6% of flops overall in this spot, concentrated on the boards that favor the caller: T-9-8 two-tone gets led 17.7% of the time, while ace-high boards are led under 3%.
- What c-bet size does the PLO solver use?
- This solve offers 33% pot and full pot on the flop. After the check it picks the small size about two-thirds of the time (34.8% of all flops vs 15.8% potted). Pot-heavy boards are the dynamic ones where equities swing; the small size carries the dry, static textures.
- How often does the big blind check-raise in PLO?
- 16.3% of the time it's facing a 33%-pot c-bet, 10.6% facing a full pot bet. Board texture decides almost all of it: trips gets raised back only 0.6% of the time vs pot, while a disconnected rainbow board like T62 gets raised 26.2%.
- Are the boards you check-raise the same ones you c-bet?
- No overlap at all. The button's ten best c-bet boards are all ace-high (A64 rainbow leads at 75.8%). The big blind's ten best check-raise boards are all low, disconnected, and ace-free - T62 rainbow tops that list at 26.2% vs a pot bet. The caller keeps its raising equity exactly where the opener has the least reason to fire a big sizing.
