Before you decide to call the four cards you have been handed, ask yourself what kind of flop would you like to get next turn. And when you see the flop you want, ask yourself what hand would it fit perfetly. This kind of little analysis will help you prepare ahead of time for your moves.

Here a few tips regarding flops:

-Paired: When a pair of flops appear, the best high hand is a four-of-a-kind, unless a straight flush exists in your situation. Although flopping four of a kinds is a rare thing to do, a full house is another possibility.

-Flush: Three or two cards of the same suit, pretty simple enough.

-Straight or Straigh Draw: Three or two cards in sequence or in close enough proximity to cause a straight.

-High: Three or Two cards above an 8. If three cards higher than a 8 flop then no low hand is possible.
