50 shades of flop texture
This is my attempt at a semi-exhaustive sort of list of flop textures for myself to study. I tried to stay proportionate to how common flops were in my choice of which to study, for example monotone flops happen just under 5% of the time so I only have a few of them. On the other hand, ignoring blockers, ace-high flops happen 22% of the time, so there are a ton of ace-high flops to study. I did also make sure to include a variety of different types of all flops and flops which I thought people might be playing particularly poorly though, and have a couple of extremely uncommon flops like AAA and TTT because they are very unusual and I think people will benefit a lot from studying them.
Note that I'm endeavoring to make flops which I can run population analyses on, so I'm deliberately using non-specific variables like looking at A(9-6)(5-2)r instead of looking at A72r. If I'm looking at stuff in CREV or another program of course for each of these flop categories I'll just pick one particular flop which I think exemplifies it to look at.
Key:
cards:
AKQJT98765432 - duh
f = face = AKQJ
b = broadway = AKQJT
m = middling = 9876
s = small = 5432
x = any card
-x = any card lower than designated cards
-b = broadway lower than the designated card(s)
Bb = different broadways
BB = same broadway
b/m/s = broadway-small = AKQJT98765432
b/s = broadway or small = AKQJT5432
etc.
textures:
r = rainbow, three different colors on flop
fd = flush draw, two on one color and one other color on flop
m = monotone, three of same color on flop
1) AAA
2) AAb fd
3) AAm/s r
4) AKb r
5) AKm fd
6) AKs m
7) ABb r
8) Ams r
9) AMm fd
10) ASs m
11) KKm r
12) KQs fd
13) K-bm fd
14) Kmm r
15) Kms m
16) Kms r
17) Kss fd
18) QQm fd
19) QJm r
20) QJm fd
21) Qms m
22) QMm r
23) Qss fd
24) Qss r
25) JTm fd
26) JTm m
27) Jmm r
28) JMm fd
29) Jms r
30) Jss r
31) T9-m fd
32) Tmm r
33) Tms m
34) Tss fd
35) Tss r
36) 9-ms fd
37) 9-Mm r
38) 9ss fd
39) 9ss m
40) 8-ms r
41) 8ss fd
42) 7ss r
43) 6ss fd
44) 5-Ss r
45) b44 fd
46) m33 r
47) x66 fd
48) x88 r
49) xTT fd
50) TTT
Hope this is a helpful list for you :)

Hey man
I got linked here from my thread http://www.runitonce.com/feed/#comment-112365
Great post
The good news is i already have my cbet and check back range selected for the flops or it will only take a little work, bad news is i was hoping i could group the boards into around 12-15 flops and this is 50 :) I intend to make the cbet/check range into charts. I shall start this task tomorrow thank you for your leg work
No problem, glad you're using it!
Did you find a way to group the boards to reduce the number or the "shades" :)
Reducing it to something like 15 would be oversimplifing things.
I think that was to optimistic of me luke in hindsight
Have you seen this software? http://flopinspector.com/ I've only really used the trial, and that was before I got into balancing ranges, but I would imagine its really useful for that, and just looking at flops in general.
Hey Eddie yes i have been looking at it, i was wondering can you get a trail i did not see it on thier site?
Yeah, if you go here, and enter your email, I think you get either a week or two to try it out: (They should really pay me some sort of fee for this advertising.)

Other flop based software is probably not available :P
Ah nice mate thank you appreciated
I've been thinking about this type of study myself too, thanks for your list! Recently was released a software called "Flop Falcon" that seens more intuitive than Flop inspector and has more flop analysis than Flopzilla. It shows how both ranges hit the flop and the ammount % of each "class"/"type" of being dealt.
if you want a list of "representative flops" I would rather go to PIO Solver and look at his blog

the first one is 25 representative flop subsets for rough estimates
the last one is 184 exhaustive flop subset for deep analysis

PIO also has 49, 74, 95 subsets you can use.
These seem to be widely accepted as reasonable stand-ins for RANDOM flops across all boards
Good Luck with this...

Thanks a lot for pointing It out! Those links are not working anymore, but I found this: https://piosolver.myshopify.com/blogs/news/62725637-choosing-a-subset-of-flops-to-represent-the-whole-game
Thanks!
