Texture refers to the characteristics and drawing potential of the community board.
Explanation. A board’s texture indicates coordination, suits, and paired or connected structure. For instance, a flop like 8‑7‑6 is wet (coordinated) while K‑2‑2 is dry. Understanding board texture guides continuation bet frequency, bluff decisions, and value range. Strategic players adjust lines based on whether the board aids draws, improves visibility, or supports polarization.
