Hit: you take another card. To hit, you tap the table or you point at your cards.

Stand: you stop. To stand, you wave your hand, palm down.

Double down: you increase the wager to a maximum of double the original bet and take exactly one more card. To double down, you place the new chips next to the original bet.

Split: you double the wager and have each card be the first card in a new hand. To split, you place the new chips next to the original bet.

Surrender: you forfeit half the bet and give up the hands.

In the best case scenario you will find yourself in the position to overcall with a very strong hand. Your initial action may be to raise here, but look to see how many opponents are left to act behind you and if those players are loose calling stations. If your hand is indeed strong enough you will win more money by letting these players into the pot on the river rather than raising and knocking them out. Remember, on every street you’re trying to get as much money into the pot for you to win as possible and in some cases the action that you think will accomplish this may actually not. Let the poor play of your opponents pay you off in the right situations. You just need to be aware enough to recognize them.

If you find yourself with a close decision on the turn and the pot is small, use this factor to lean towards folding. If you do have a strong hand, push the action and bet. You’ll win most of your money in hands with small pots from opponents who call down to the river with weak draws and second best hands. Let your cards and the size of the pot, be your guide.

If you are first to act on the river things become more difficult. Now you have to decide if you would like to bet, check and fold, check and call or check-raise. With a winning hand in this position you’re deciding how much more money you can coax out of your opponent. Should you bet or risk the check-raise and win two bets if your opponent calls? These are the types of questions you should ask yourself at this stage of the hand.

But, be careful to mind the board. That last card could have made someone else’s draw. People are drawn out on in low limit hold’em all the time, even when their opponent had to hit a runner-runner straight or flush and you will usually only get action from these opponents on the river if you are beat. Be mindful of the board if you can be beat, but if your hand is invincible try and get as much money as possible out of your opponent. These extra bets you win on the river distinguish the great players from the merely good players.

No matter what you do on the river, remember this: While it is a small error to call one last bet on the river with a losing hand; it is a huge mistake to fold the winning hand on the river and lose the entire pot.

The promise you saw in a hand that had made top pair as well as a four flush draw on the turn was based on both potential and realized value. Your job on the river is now to decide your next action only based upon the realized value of your hand. If the four flush draw misses on the river you are now only playing with the top pair you already made. You need to realize this right away; your hand only has realized value at this point. Your decision to bet, fold or check if you’re first to act or re-raise if someone has bet in front of you can only be based upon your realized value. Understand this, and now proceed with the best strategy to win what is in the middle of the table.

A good time to induce a bluff is on the turn after you have bet on the flop when you hold strong hole cards like Queens and the board is suited. Check to your opponent on the turn and he may try to bluff on the river. If you do this you can pick up an additional big bet on the river and be pretty sure your opponent does not have trips when he bets on the last round.

A lot of time when you flop an open-ended straight draw or a four-flush you will not improve on the turn. If you have two or more opponents you can call a bet and give it one last shot on the river. Watch out for a lot of action on the turn though. If there’s a bet and raise ahead of you, be wary. Make sure the board is not paired so that you’re not drawing dead to a full-house.

If folding is the superior play to checking with your hand, it might be the most profitable to bluff against your opponents. The turn is a good place to do so, if the action leading up to it is passive. This will require that you pull in all the information from the hand to pick a good situation to pull it off. If everyone has checked on the flop, then you have a good chance of pulling off a bluff on the turn from early position, especially if a blank card has fallen.

On most hands you’ll never see the turn, but when you do make it to this turning point in the action without much hope, know when you can correctly continue to the murky waters of the river and when you should fold.

While giving a free card gives you a disadvantage, getting one yourself can be quite advantageous. You can do this by betting on the flop when you are in last position on a draw. On the turn when the bets have doubled your opponents will likely check to you and if you have not improved you can check in last position and see the river for free.

This is a classic poker maneuver that is quite effective and has resulted in players winning big. But lately this tactic has not been as effective because of the simple reason that almost all players are now using the slow playing tactic on their big hands that it has become a very expected maneuver.

But you can still use the slow playing tactic to your advantage.

When you get a big hand, you should start betting. But instead of trying to lure your opponents to make the move, you should bet yourself. Amateurs think this is just a waste of a big hand because the rest of the table will likely fold. But in reality you will normally get some betting action from a player.

Performing this tactic is effectively like double bluffing especially since most of your opponents would do a slow play. Your opponents will think that you are bluffing and thus will get some betting action. This would in turn result in you winning more money.
