Describes the nature of hands that can be made from the community cards. Texture is fundamental to putting hand strength in context. Common categorizations include wet (many strong draws or strong made hands are possible), dry (few draws or strong made hands are possible). Pairing can be categorized as unpaired, paired, tripled, quadrupled or double-paired. Suitedness can be described as rainbow, suited, monotone 3-flush, 4-flush or 5-flush. Connectivity can be described as a spectrum from boards where no straight draws are possible to the most connected where many made straights are possible. Additionally, boards can be categorized by rank, including the highest card and lower cards.
