Best hand on board:

[enno]

First of all, if you don’t know what the best possible hand using the board is, you shouldn’t be playing poker.
Secondly, how much importance do you consider it to be, or do you just play against your opponent regardless (especially if he or she is a LAG who plays anything)?

Do you know what the best hand is?

You might not know what the best hand is at the time, but you should always know what the best POSSIBLE hand is.
eg on the flop with 3 suited cards Kh Th 8h the best possible hand would be an A high flush.
on the turn with Jh the best possible hand would be a royal flush.

I absolutely agree with you, the ability to correctly read the board and see all possible combinations that can be in each hand is one of the very important factors, without which it is almost impossible to be a plus player in poker. Usually, beginners who have recently started playing poker have problems with this. I believe that in order to achieve the best result from the game and learn how to beat opponents, you need to be able to read the board and be able to play against the opponent, as you wrote. A good poker player must be versatile and use all possible skills and tools that exist. I mainly try to play according to the board, but when a loose opponent plays against me, then there are times when I start playing against the player. After all, if he often bluffs, then you need to catch him regardless of what board opened.
