Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.

Again you can see that the overall average equity in each hand range grouping is slightly lower on a broadway paired board versus a low paired board. If you check/called with your air range and small pairs as your primary line, you'd have to turn these hands into bluffs a good percentage of the time on later streets. So fold out a lot of your gutshot, air, and small pair range when you're out of position, or look to lead with some percentage of those hands. Check-raising generally won't be a good line because your equity isn't as good, and your opponent believing you have a strong enough hand to check-raise won't work often enough.
In general you're going to have slightly more equity on lower flops than on broadway flops for most flop textures. This will allow for slightly more creativity if you choose lines and balance them well with the style of online hold'em poker that fits your game best. If you prefer playing a more passive and trappy game, then you should have a better idea of which boards to check/call with, and which ranges are best suited for this. If you have a much more aggressive game, you can see which textures are best for check-raises and leading at the pot.
