The Turn

When the betting is completed for the flop round, the bets are taken to the center of the table (the pot is now $33) and the "turn-card" is dealt face up on the board. The turn is the fourth community card in a Hold’em game and is also known as "fourth street".

As always the betting begins with the first active player to the left of the button. This round sees a doubling of the betting, from small bets to big bets (from $2 to $4 in our example, a $2 is no longer possible as the betting increments are $4).

The turn-card in our example is the J and it makes you a set of jacks by combining your two hole cards and the jack on the board. The third betting round in our case proceeds as follows:

1. You are now the first player to act and you bet, wagering $4.
2-3. The two other players still in the hand both calls.

This round of betting is complete. You do not get the opportunity to act again as the other players did not "let you in" again by raising.

- The "turn" brings the fourth community card.
- All subsequent betting is made in the higher limit increments, $4 big bets in this example.
- Betting order and options are the same as in the previous round of betting.
