Turn and River Final Notes

Lastly I just want to finish up by briefly talking about the turn and river
in a bit more detail.

These two betting rounds are what I call the “big money streets.” This

is because the bets sizes can often represent a significant portion of
your stack.

Therefore it is extremely important for your winrate that you are getting
the maximum value on these betting rounds but also not spewing
chips.

1. Multiple Barrels = Strong Hand

Firstly, versus a double or a triple barrel you should only be calling (or raising) with a very strong hand. As I have
mentioned several times already, most players are very passive at these stakes. This means that they often
mean business when they start betting big on the turn and river in particular.

Also, due to the high amount of prolific calling stations in low limit games it is often suicide for your winrate to run
big bluffs on these later streets as well. Because they will of course just call you down!

2. Turn and River Raises = Monster Hand

And finally, if your double or triple barrel gets raised at these limits then you typically need to have the nuts in
order to continue. Passive players will simply not take an extremely aggressive line like this without a huge hand.
Learning to fold in these situations will make a massive difference to your bottom line.
