# Postflop Play

Board texture, initiative, and choosing a bet that does work.

7-week network order

Once three cards are face up, the hand stops being about two private cards and starts being about how those two cards interact with a board that both players can see. This group covers reading texture, deciding whether a board favours the range that raised or the range that called, and the difference between a bet that folds out live equity, a bet that builds a pot for a hand that is already ahead, and a bet that accomplishes neither. Most avoidable losses in No-Limit Texas Hold'em happen on the flop and turn, not before the flop.
