Know the Ways to Determine Your Winning Chances in Hold ‘Em
In the Final Lap
If you are staying in game even after the turn card and river card then you can make the claim for the pot after displaying your hole cards. If only one player does not fold after the display of river card then he/she wins the pot; otherwise there are few ways to determine the winner. As mentioned earlier, the five community cards belong to all players and if any of the players have hole cards that can be used to form the high ranking five-card hand then they increase their chances for winning the pot.
Let us consider an example; if the community cards (three flops, the turn card, and the river card) are J♦ T♦ Q♦ 5♥ 4♠ and your hole cards are K♦ A♦ then you have a Royal Flush, that is, A♦ K♦ Q♦ J♦ T♦. Similarly there are several combinations which will determine your chances for winning the pot.
