The River

The River is generally a straight forward betting round in Texas Hold Em. All the cards are on the board. You either have a very strong hand, or you didn't make your hand.

Since you have already committed chips on the Flop, and the Turn, you hopefully have the best hand. THis is where you will find out.

You want to stay aggressive on this round of betting. You should have already put your opponent on a hand. Did they make their flush draw? Are there a pair on the board? Three cards of the same suit?

If you did not make your hand on the River, and your opponent bets into you, fold your hand. Don't make the mistake of calling with a busted hand.
