Playstyle in videogames where a player (see 'flex player') is able to change their play-style in a moments notice.
Flex gaming requires high context awareness and a deep understanding of the game's mechanics. Constant re-evaluation is needed to remain flexible with all decisions. Executing flex gaming is both challenging and exhausting and can therefore rarely be performed for a long time consecutively.
In contrast casual players fixate on a playstyle at the beginning of a game. This behavior is very common and can be explained by "escalating commitment". 'OTP's (one-trick-ponies) are the extreme opposite of flex gaming; they fixate on a playstyle already before a game.

Did you see how I seemingly randomly changed my board in the middle of the game! It turned out great at the end, this was peak flex gaming.
