As I think I mentioned in the other thread, I think the search for flop categorizations is somewhat fruitless. Even if you could categorize flops numerically, they would still have completely different solutions for the ranges that see those flops. e.g. 765tt plays completely different in a BTNvBB pot, to how it plays UTGvMP, or in a 3b or 4b pot by anyone.
Thanks for the input. Pointing out why a hand is either wet or dry, and the logic behind it, helps everyone.
Board texture is valuable in bluff raising opponents who bet flops when they are unlikely to have a hand that they think is worth defending.
For me, Dry / Wet boards are a step on the way to Static / Dynamic, then to board analysis. The end goal is figuring out things like "Is this board friendly or unfriendly a given board is to barreling and bluffing?".
One aspect is the probability that your opponent will have Broadway cards in his hand, pairs, or suited connectors. A8 is far more likely than J8 , because J8 will generally be folded preflop.
