Waiting for the Turn Card
Texas Holdem is a great game. There is something drawing to the way it is played. Maybe it is the almost even playing ground everyone is on. Maybe it is the fact that the single turn of a card in poker can take someone who had almost no chance of winning to having the best chance at the table. In essence, Texas Holdem poker is a game of waiting for the next turn of the card.
In games other than Texas Holdem there is not near as much importance on that card flipping. However the results of the flop and river are an exciting and integral part of Texas Holdem. Imagine sitting at a table. In your hand are a pair of Queens. On the board is two fives. Right now you are sitting on two pair. Not a particularly strong hand. In fact general advice would say to pitch it. However for some reason you kept it. The next card flips and it is a seven. No help at all. In fact you might think about pitching this hand in now. Instead though, a little voice whispers in your ear. You decide to hold, the next card is flipped and it is a Queen. Now you are sitting on a full house!
That is why Texas Holdem is such a great game. It all comes down to the turn of a card.
