The flop changes the situation radically. The player can already calculate the potential of his hand, form an opinion about the strength of the combination that this or that opponent may have. And how correct the decision of the poker player on the flop depends on his success in the distribution. To make the most accurate flop decisions, you need to consider the following:
Analyze the board. In other words, evaluate the three cards that appear on the table. This means that the player must correlate the potential of his combination and the combination of opponents that can form on a particular flop. Think about which combination "shines" for you with this set, and which - for your rivals.
Consider the activity of your opponents preflop. Always remember all the information you received from your opponents before the flop. How active or passive they are after the flop appears, how much the size of bets has increased, etc. Compare all the data and take it into account when making a decision. Not always, but already here another opponent can give you the strength of his hand by his behavior. And knowing that this will either increase your
bankroll or decrease it - it all depends on which combination you enter into the hand.
Watch out for the bank (pot). The size of the pot on the flop can tell you if it's worth fighting for, not to mention the increase on subsequent streets. Correlate all the information received with your own hand.
The flop is the most aggressive part of the game, but also the most important. It is with the appearance of the first three community cards that the decision to bluff or semi-bluff is made.
Consider your position. The later you arrive, the more data you will get about your opponents. In addition, late position gives you an advantage in some poker techniques.
