9s,8s,4d postflop strategy (中连两色(3bet底池), 3-bet pot)

On 9s,8s,4d (中连两色(3bet底池)), Button (in position) c-bets 56.6% of the time when Big Blind (out of position) checks, while Big Blind checks 23.9%. Flop range equity: Big Blind 52.3% vs Button 47.7% (our deterministic seeded Monte Carlo, 178,495 samples, 95% CI ±0.23pp). All frequencies below are TexasSolver offline outputs; exploitability 0.184%.

Board reading

A 3-bet pot on 9-8-4 two-tone flips the pressure: the 3-bettor's big pairs face dense 98s/T9s/87s interaction from BTN's calling range. Watch OOP's rising check frequency and IP's stab space.

Methodology

Solver: TexasSolver (console); 400 iterations, accuracy target 0.2, exploitability 0.184% (closer to 0 is closer to Nash equilibrium). Solving is done locally and offline — only data outputs ship, and the AGPL component is isolated from production code (not linked, no binary distribution). Range equity is computed independently by our own deterministic engine as a cross-check.

FAQ

What is Button's c-bet frequency on 9s,8s,4d?

56.6% (TexasSolver output at the node where Big Blind checks); correspondingly Big Blind checks 23.9% there.

How are these numbers computed? Are they GTO?

Action frequencies come from a local offline TexasSolver run (400 iterations, exploitability 0.184% — closer to 0 is closer to equilibrium); the range equities 52.3%/47.7% are independently cross-checked by our own deterministic engine. A solve is an approximate equilibrium, not a unique answer.
