Some examples of "AHA moments":
- An ace with a horrible kicker is garbage
- Position is a huge factor in poker
- Raising is generally a lot better than calling

[ QUOTE ]
Dry boards are generally unconnected rainbow boards that aren't likely to hit anyone in the hand. Generally these are good boards to bluff against as it's hard for opponents to call.

I disagree.
K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] is a dry board even though it's likely to have hit someone.
Dryness/Wetness characterizes the likelihood of draws being out there, not the likelihood of the flop hitting someone.
You're more likely to shove an overpair on a wet board than a dry board for precisely that reason. If you're facing a lot of action on a dry board, chance are it isn't a draw and your one pair hand is behind. Lots of action on a wet board could be an indication of a strongly played draw.

There are quite a few possible straight draws on that flop which include quite a few hands that people are likely to see a flop with. QJ, J9, AQ, AJ, etc. So while it isn't the most drawy of flops, it isn't really a "dry" one either.

K72r is the perfect example of a dry flop. There are no straight or flush draws possible, and the K present on the board makes it impossible for anyone to have even a draw to two overcards. So basically I'm agreeing with your statement but disagreeing with your example of it. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
