End Bets

End bets are the bets made in the last round of betting.

The simple explanation

End bets are the bets on the final round of a hand. In stud, that is the round after the last card. In hold'em it is the river.

A closer look

The term is rare. Final round bets are often the biggest, since the pot is large and no more cards will come. Players value-bet or bluff on the river.

A practical example

On the river, a player makes the end bet.
