The board reveals what possible hands there are. Straights, flushes, full houses and higher hands are way above average in strength, but their possible presence are all indicated on the board. Straights must have connected cards, flushes must have three of one suit present, and full houses must have pairs on board. So, the strong hands, or the presence of strong hands, are absolutely indicated on the board.
In his second real money session today, King had AQo and called a bet on the flop without a made hand or a strong draw - a daring move because playing overcards is risky business and not recommend for beginners. The pot was big and the board was ragged. An ace luckily came on the turn and the brave flop call paid off. On fifth street a queen made two pairs and with the process of elimination, only a set could beat two pair, so the King bet on the the river. His two pair held up and a nice pot was collected.
