Preflop is the first stage of a hand in poker, right after players are dealt their hole cards but before any community cards (like the flop) are revealed. It’s where the first betting round takes place.
Players act in turn, starting with the person to the left of the big blind, deciding whether to fold, call (match the big blind), or raise. Preflop decisions are crucial because they set the tone for the rest of the hand and can determine how big the pot becomes.
In games like Texas Hold’em and Omaha, smart preflop play is all about hand selection, position, and reading opponents’ actions.
