The time to give up on a
hand in Hold 'Em is either before the flop or on the flop.
If you still have an active hand by the turn, you're usually
in for the duration.
The betting rounds for the last two cards are at double
the bet size of the first two betting rounds. By the time
you reach this point, your hand and the likely holdings
of your opponents should be fairly well defined. At the
first of these last betting rounds, six of your seven
cards have been exposed. You only have one more card coming.
At this point you generally either have the probable best
hand, or you have a draw to the probable best hand.
Most of the time, if your hand was good enough to stay
for the turn card, then it's good enough to stay for the
river card. Not always though. An example of when it might
not be right to stay past the turn card is when the pot
was offering you enough odds to draw one card for an inside
straight, but when the bet doubles on the turn round,
the pot is not twice the size and you're no longer getting
good enough odds to call.
Generally, if your draw on the flop was strong enough
for an automatic call, then it'll still be good enough
to call on the turn. If your call on the flop depended
on a close analysis of pot odds, then it's probably not
good enough to call the larger turn bet.
