Lesson 2
Reading the Board
Not all flops are created equal. Wet vs. Dry boards.
Before you bet, look at the board texture.
🌵 DRY Board
Scattered values, different suits. Hard to connect with.
Safe to C-Bet/Bluff.
💦 WET Board
Connected cards, same suits. Easy to have a Straight or Flush draw.
Dangerous. Be careful.
Key Takeaways
- • Dry boards = Good for bluffing (hard for them to have anything).
- • Wet boards = Bad for bluffing (easy for them to have a piece).
- • Adjust your strategy based on the board cards.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- • Bluffing blindly on a very wet board.
- • Giving free cards on a wet board when you have a good hand.
Worked Example
Danger! Wet Board!
The Board
This is a nightmare board. Possible Straights, Flushes, or Two Pairs everywhere. If you have nothing, DO NOT C-BET. Just Check and give up.
