Answer: You take how many cards left in the deck could complete your hand, and multiply that by 2 for the turn, 4 for the river. So say there's 5 cards in the deck that will give you your hand. You multiply that by 2, and that tells you the chances of getting those cards during the turn, 10%. You multiply that by 4 to figure out the odds for the river, which would be 20%

It refers to the $2/$4 betting structure or pot limit depending on the game (i.e. Texas Hold'em, Omaha, etc.)
For instance in a 2/4 Texas Hold 'em game: The player immediately to the left of the dealer puts up or "posts" the small blind of one dollar which is half the minimum bet for this in a $2/$4 game. The player to the left of the small blind posts the big blind which is equal to the minimum bet, which is two dollars in this case. The rest of the players do not put up any money to start the hand. Because the deal rotates around the table, each player will eventually act as the big blind, small blind and dealer. When the betting round after the flop is completed, the dealer turns a fourth card face up in the middle of the table. This is referred to as the "Turn." The minimum bet after the turn is now four dollars and begins again with the first active player to the left of the dealer.Following the betting round for the turn, the dealer will turn a fifth and final card face up. This is called the "river," and the final betting round begins.To determine the winner, the players may use any combination of their two hole cards and the five cards on the "Board" (Table) to form the highest five-card hand. A sixth card is nver used to break a tie. If two players tie the pot is split.
I am assuming, of course, that you are referring to the "RULES" of the game and not probability-based strategies and calculations.
