The river is the last community of card. After the exposure of the fifth card, last betting round will take place. And in the showdown all the remaining player will compare their hands to determine the winner.  You will not see the river card unless you have a strong hand that is a favorite to win or you have a draw to a winning hand.

Once the river card is turned over, you know exactly what you have. Playing decisions on the river are easier than during other round but they do require some thought. Obviously if you do not make your hand you will fold.

If you did not make your draw when the river card is exposed, it is wise to fold regardless of the pot size. But if you have slightly good hand you may make a call. Though sometimes there exist a fine line between folding and folding in the river. Avoid bluffing on the end, unless you are heads up and confident that your opponent was drawing.

Even though you are not involved in the hand it is important to pay attention to the game even if you are not involved in a hand. You can gain valuable information about your opponents simply by observing what hands they play. It’s easy to determine the players who plays and suited cards, or single aces by watching the hands they turn over at the end. Let your opponent pay to see your hand. Never show your card, if you don’t have.
