Dryflop / Wet flop rating
Ok
We all know that Q 7 2 rainbow is the dryest flop possible. No straight draws, flush draw requires runner runner, top pair has 6 possible outs against it and really, it's the safest board to slowplay
We all know that 7 8 9 of one suit is the wettest (for lack of a better word) possible. Even a pair of aces pre-flop is correct to forgoe the normal c-bet and even fold if there's a ton of action unless he holds one of the suits as a possible nut flush draw. Even sets get antsy about "correclty in most cases" stacking off here.
But how do we rate all of the flops in between? Has anyone ever tried to put some sort of immediate mathematical emphasis on it? Would it have any practical use to help noobies evaluate the flop? I know for a long time, the only thing that "texture" of the flop meant to me was whether a flush draw was present...
What I'm thinking is some sort of points system that will help a new guy understand what flops are safe to attempt a slowplay on, and what flops are manditory you bet, and what flops are acceptable to get away from high strength hands on. I think the biggest help would be the realization that slowplaying a dry flop is still pretty unreasonable unless the hand is super powerful, and the flop is like the sahara.
Any ideas? Takers? or do I get to post another stupid graphical theory?
