Third Round Of Poker Betting

Author: Third Round of Betting
After the second round of play is complete, the dealer flips up a fourth community card faceup. This card, which also stays on the table throughout the hand, is usually called either the turn or fourth street. Then the third round of betting begins. Again, the person closest to the left of the button who still has a live hand (hasn't folded) begins the betting, and, take note, the stakes are now doubled. (The bets are larger, but there are, in nearly all hands, fewer players—the others have folded.)
Fourth Round of Retting
After the third round of betting is complete, the dealer flips up the fifth and last community card, faceup in the middle of the table. This card is usually called either fifth street or the river (much more often). Now we have the five community cards in the middle of the table plus the two that you have in your hand: seven cards total. Each of you will settle on the best five cards out of the seven available to you (including one, two, or neither of the cards in your hand) to make your best possible poker hand. Now the fourth and final round of betting begins. After this round is completed, you will all flip up your hole cards to determine who has the best hand. Usually, once someone has shown a hand that no one else can beat, no one else bothers showing his hand at this point. (Sometimes a player who feels he got unlucky on the turn or the river may show a good hand that "went bad." We call this a "sympathy show.")
