Fifth Street

“Fifth Street” is a term commonly used in poker, particularly in games like Texas Hold’em and Seven-Card Stud. It refers to the fifth community card dealt in Texas Hold’em, or the fifth card dealt to each player in Seven-Card Stud. This card is also known as the “river” in Texas Hold’em.

At this stage of the game, players have a clearer picture of their hand’s potential, and the stakes are usually higher as it’s the last opportunity to bet or fold before the showdown. The decisions made on Fifth Street can be critical, often determining the winner of the hand. It’s a moment of tension and strategy, where players must weigh the strength of their hand against the possible hands of their opponents.
