Flop
The first three community cards dealt face-up on the board in Texas Hold'em and Omaha. The flop is dealt after the first round of betting (preflop) and dramatically shapes the direction of the hand. Approximately 71% of a player's final hand is known after the flop, making it a critical decision point.
Example
You hold A♠K♣ and the flop comes A♥7♦2♠. You have top pair with the best kicker — a strong hand on this dry board.
