The Texas Holdem Fourth Street often represents the turning point in the game, thus the nickname turn. As the turn is revealed, you have already seen about 86 percent of your final hand. This marks the time when you have to make the big decision on whether to play or fold. And in many cases, if you call on the fourth street, you will also most likely call on the fifth street or the river.

If you are in the fourth street and you have a weak hand, you have a final chance to fold before losing additional chips. This is where you will need to calculate your odds of winning more carefully. For example, in a 2-4 game with $20 in the pot, you will have 10:1 odds if you make a bet of $2. In this case, you can continue going after the pot. But if you bet $4, your odds will go down to 5:1 and it would not be a good decision to continue pursuing the pot.



Many players consider that the fourth street in Texas holdem poker is the point wherein players will see more aggressive action, and at the same time the least action when one of the players realize how weak their hands are.
