Flop (poker)

The first three exposed community cards in Texas hold 'em or Omaha hold'em. It is so called because all three cards are exposed simultaneously instead of one at a time so that a player cannot be seen to be reacting to one particular card. The three cards are normally dealt facedown in a stack and then the whole stack is turned faceup and quickly slid to one side to expose the cards lower in the upturned stack.
