Occasionally every single player gets lucky and flops the nuts – the best possible hand on the board that is unlikely to be beaten when the rest of the cards come out. Obviously this is a great thing to happen, as you are guaranteed to win the pot, but there are also a number of different decisions that you will need to make in order to get the most money possible from your hand, therefore ensuring that you have not wasted a golden opportunity.

When you flop the nuts, there are three scenarios that you could run into. The first of these – and by far the best for you – is that the opponent has also flopped a strong poker hand. There is also the chance that the opponent has got a mediocre hand, and also the possibility that they have absolutely nothing. It is up to you to work out what the other player has and to therefore bet accordingly.

Probably the most popular tactic when flopping the nuts is to slow play a hand, which basically means that you either check or bet very small, in the hope that your opponent will either bet back into you, or hit a better hand (although not better than yours) which will encourage them to call any bets you make later on. This works well when playing against strong hands, as they will perceive you to be weak and bet into you. If slow playing still doesn’t improve a weak player’s hand though, you will have to resign yourself to the fact that you won’t make much money from this pot.

Should you flop the nuts on the flop, it is very important to evaluate the possible outcomes should two more cards come down. For example, you might be holding a seven and an eight, with four, five and six on the flop. Make sure you look to see if there is a chance for a flush there though, and also be concerned about more cards coming down to make a higher straight possible. Generally straights are not as safe to play with from the flop as good flushes – although unless you have the ace in a flush, you still can’t be sure that you are winning! If you flop a full house though, then you have almost nothing to worry about!
