Mixed strategy
What it means
The same hand played one way some of the time and another way the rest of the time (for example, raise or fold) because both lines have a similar EV. Context tips the choice: the opponent behind, the rake and how much 3-betting there is at the table.
Example
K9o in the CO is mixed in the course chart: against a BTN who 3-bets very often you fold it; against a passive table that calls with worse hands, you open it.
