★★★

Basic Definition

The turn refers to the fourth community card revealed after the flop, as well as the round of betting associated with it.

Specific Situation

  • When the flop is Ah9h3d and your hole cards are KhTh, a 7h on the turn will complete a flush.
  • When the flop is Qs8d5d and your hole cards are JsTc, a 9h on the turn will complete a straight.

Important Information

  • The turn is a phase that can significantly change the likelihood of completing a player's hand. Therefore, the decision to call in order to see the turn card must be made carefully.
  • After the turn card, the pot tends to grow larger, so it's important to carefully read your opponent's intentions behind their bets and raises.

Examples of Term Usage

"I hit a flush on the turn, so let's bet aggressively."
