Board Texture

Board texture describes how the community cards interact with possible hand ranges. Key factors include how connected the cards are, how many draws are possible, whether the board is paired, and the suit distribution. Dry boards (e.g., K♠ 7♦ 2♣) favor the preflop raiser's range, while wet boards (e.g., J♥ T♥ 9♥) create more complex situations where many draws are possible.
