Introduction

In this article

How you play on the flop is of great importance in Texas Hold'em. Three community cards are placed face up on the table. This gives you a lot of information about your own hand. This is why it is important that you reassess the strength of your hand on the flop. 

When switching to heads-up No-Limit Hold'em it is important to get a feel for how strong your hand is on the flop. This naturally depends on many factors, such as the community cards, the opponents and the metagame.  

It is also important that you know how to play your strong, medium-strength and weak hands in different situations. In a heads-up game it is very important to play different lines and to balance these according to the opponents. 

In a heads-up game you also have some very good information on the opponent's style of play, which means that lines that might not have been very wise to play if you hadn't known anything about the other players now might be an interesting option. 

In this article you will learn how to assess the strength of your hand on the flop and which line to select in which situation on the flop.
