Poker Scare Cards
You should always look closely at the river card and try to determine how it could help someone's hand. If everyone checks on the turn, and there is a bet from early position when a third suited card falls, you can be pretty sure you are up against a flush. If the board pairs on the turn, it could give someone a full house. Because of the any Ace mentality in low-limit games, you should also be cautious when an Ace comes up on the river.
A player with a small pair and Ace kicker could have made two pairs. Many times a player who has lead all the way with top pair will lose to a pair of Aces on the river. Another situation that involves an Ace appears when a fourth suited card falls on the river. If a player has a small flush, many times he loses out when the fourth suit makes the nut flush for a player with the suited Ace.
The more players you are up against, the more likelihood that the river card has helped someone. If you are first to act against only one player, you can bet out and give the impression that the scare card has helped you. Sometimes this may be enough to convince the player to fold if the card was no help to them.
