A scare card is a community card that hits the board and could change the strength of hands dramatically, often making players cautious. It’s called a scare card because it can represent a big threat—like completing a straight, flush, or even a full house.
Scare cards are powerful tools in poker strategy. Even if they don’t help your hand, you can use them to bluff, because your opponent might assume the card helped you. But on the flip side, if you’re holding a strong hand and a scare card hits, you might need to slow down or re-evaluate your position.
