I hear a lot about texture of the board on this site. I know what texture means and I can differentiate between them. However, I don't know which hands like which textures in which situations/position.
Can anyone direct me to a good link or thread?
Much appreciated!

Dangerous boards are bad in NL if you:
- Only have one pair. This is obvious, it just means you're more likely to be beaten.
- Have limited your hand to a narrow range. If you raise UTG and are called and the flop is 6h 7h 8s, that's generally bad. Even if you have aces, you're not going to want to stack off on a board like that. The other player, who can have a much wider range, will know this and press his advantage.
- Are out of position. This is because the advantage of position boils down to being able to control the pot size. This is very important on dangerous boards.
