What is the "turn"?

The turn is the fourth community card dealt in poker games like Texas hold 'em and Omaha. It is placed face-up in the center of the table after the betting round following the flop. The turn is important because it gives players more information about the potential strength of their hand, and it leads to a new round of betting. After the turn, the fifth and final community card, called the river, is dealt, followed by the final betting round. Players use the turn along with the other community cards and their hole cards to make the best possible hand.
