So far in this series on tournament play, we’ve covered pre-flop plays and value plays. This month, it’s time to take a look at playing the flop. The flop is often said to be the defining moment in any given poker game and this is certainly true in that it’s the moment that 60% of the community cards are revealed. The flop is the point where you can get a good idea of where you stand for the rest of the hand. However, as ever, you won’t be surprised to learn that there are no hard-and-fast rules for post-flop play: like everything else in poker, it depends entirely on the situation at the time.
