2.1 - Flop Texture Flashcards
What is a dynamic board vs a static board?
A dynamic board is a board where hand equities are likely to change on future streets, whereas equities on a static board are less likely to change.
On the flop, what sizes of the dynamic-static board spectrum should bet sizes be larger vs smaller?
Bet sizes should be larger when boards are more dynamic as we have more incentive to deny equity and end a hand more quickly.
What does a hand with robust equity mean?
Robust equity means the ability of a hand to maintain its equity on future streets.
What is our hand’s most important set of attributes vs the board when generating fold equity.
Multi-component board interaction is particularly relevant for the weaker combos that we bet, because EV of betting them relies on generating fold equity.
We need those components to stack together.
What are some examples of blockers?
straight blockers, flush blockers, PP blockers, pair blockers, back door flush draws (BDFDs), wraps
On higher card boards (more specifically A-high), will the aggressor or the defender have an equity advantage more often?
Whenever the flop is more high card focused, the pre-flop aggressor will have an equity advantage more often.
What are some attributes of Dynamic Unpaired boards?
–Two-tone–
W/o the pure nuts, we want to end the hand quickly.
What are some attributes of Dry Unpaired boards?
–Rainbow–
Same idea as dynamic boards, we want to end the hand before any straight draws can complete.
What are some attributes of Straight boards?
–All 3 cards make a straight possible–
On these boards we begin to value robust equity that will continue to be robust on later streets.
What are some attributes of Paired boards?
–Self explanatory–
Higher pairs tend to favor the aggressor.
Under-fulls should be treated with caution, because we can rarely bet this for value for 3 streets, by doing so, we narrow down villain’s range to something that can potentially dominate us.
IP never 3 bets a single bet because there are no semi-bluffs on this board, such as a connected low card. But in this case, he’ll be raising hands that have closer to 0 equity.
What are some attributes of Monotone boards?
Aggressor tends to have slightly more flush blockers than the defender, but there are no advantages in NF and non-NF.
Semi-bluffs on this board will need a flush blocker otherwise they should be folded.
