I'm guessing so. In solverland you may turn this hand into a bluff when turn is an overcard ; but since here villain is to overfold against c-bet, I'm guessing that your value threshold on turn goes up relative to solver, and thus that your bluffing range also shrinks.

I'm not sure though! I'm assuming that, since A5 should have more equity/SDV than, say, frontdoors, it would check the turn whilst frontdoors barrel ; but given that villain overfolds against c-bet, I'm not sure to what extent A5 lost equity when landing on the turn. It may be that it's actually a better bluff candidate than some draws under those circumstances

Given his stats I don't think villain is getting out of line almost ever here. So raising all-in with some strong hands and good flush draws. This shouldn't change your strategy. You still get the combination of thin value and equity denial by betting here and villain will not punish you (enough) for it.

Like people here said, villain is folding too much and raising too little. These things combined this flop becomes a range bet. 50% is ok but you can go a bit bigger to further discourage low pps and A-highs from calling. So, don't change anything, hand wp.

A gto cbetting range looks like this, using a B66 sizing:


And villain is supposed to respond with this in gto:


However if we nodelock villain to be slighly less aggressive, eg. removing 99 from the shoving range and make him fold just a little bit more, like this:


Then check out how that affects hero's cbet strategy:

Thanks for the work man! Yeah I thinked to bet a little bigger! Vs jam yes is a clear fold with this hand, and I think that with a hand like A8 for example I have a hard decision
