Turn In Poker
Many poker pundits express the belief that the turn is the most difficult street to play in hold’em – so let’s explore some differences in how one might approach this street for improved results. Poker game toppling the traditional series games from their thrones with Turn Texas Holdem Poker will even be more exciting and full of ambition. Your account will never be closed under certain.
If there’s one street that is continually misunderstood and misplayed in Texas Hold’em, it’s the turn. By now, most players have their pre-flop strategies down pat, have a decent idea what to do on the flop and generally make defensible decisions on the river. But the turn? It’s still the wild west out there on the turn.
Players continually make big mistakes on this street, whether that be playing too passive and never bluffing or using poor judgement to fire again when it should be time to shut off the engines. We are going to look at when you should fire again on the turn to help you – ahem – turn the tables on your opponents!

Knowing when to fire again
Most players are very aware of how valuable continuation betting on the flop can be, and go ahead with ‘c-bets’ a large percentage of the time. However, when that initial c-bet is called players seem to be less certain of how to act on the turn.
If your flop c-bet is a complete bluff – let’s say you have 7-6 and the flop is Tc-4d-2s – then, depending on what comes on the turn, there are plenty of possibilities for you to still pick up this pot. Just because your c-bet bluff gets called on the flop it doesn’t mean your opponent has a strong hand. In this particular situation their entire range could include a ten, a four, a two, pocket pairs, sets, Ace-high, King-high and – maybe – straight draws such as 5-3 and 6-3. As you can see, only a small portion of this range is what you’d define as ‘strong’. Much of the range is calling in the hope that they will just be able to see low cards on the turn and river to get to showdown without putting any more chips into the middle!

Of course, in a situation like this it’s your duty and obligation to turn the tables and give your opponents awkward decisions on the turn. Firing a second bullet will often work but you have to ensure you’re bluffing in the right situations. Much of this depends on what the turn card brings. Using the same hand set-up there are some key cards that you should definitely fire on. The turn cards with the highest chance of success are aces and kings. You can tell a very credible story by firing on an ace or king turn and it will force your opponent to fold much of their range.
