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 and donk-lead rates per texture class, with each class's share of all flops.
| Texture | Share of flops | BTN c-bet | BB donk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7-high or lower | 9.2% | 51.8% | 9.0% |
| 8-T high | 23.1% | 50.2% | 11.8% |
| K/Q/J-high | 46.0% | 47.9% | 14.3% |
| Ace-high | 21.7% | 56.5% | 2.2% |
| Trips on board | 0.2% | 31.8% | 3.9% |
| Paired | 16.9% | 48.8% | 7.7% |
| Unpaired | 82.8% | 51.1% | 11.2% |
| Rainbow | 39.8% | 55.0% | 11.4% |
| Two-tone | 55.1% | 47.8% | 9.1% |
| Monotone | 5.2% | 48.1% | 20.1% |
| Connected (span ≤ 2) | 3.2% | 38.5% | 10.3% |
| Semi-connected (span 3-4) | 13.6% | 47.4% | 12.3% |
| Disconnected | 66.0% | 52.5% | 11.1% |
Three 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. And 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.
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.
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).
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. Solve data decoded from MonkerSolver's own files
(profile v20310_g1_fb100_tb75_rb75_tt1_rt1); this page inherits that solve's tree and assumptions.

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.
