Click here for detailsThere are only 5 possible actions in all variations of poker: Check, Bet, Call, Raise, and Fold. Such extra options like ‘grab the money and run away as fast as it is possible’ or ‘distract the attention of your opponents and hide the half of the bank in your pockets’ are possible unless you play at home with friends.
Check: The action when you ‘offer’ your opponents to turn the next card up (or make their action) without giving away any money. It is possible, when during the betting round no one sitting prior to you has made any bet (or rise/re-rise).
Bet: The action when you put your money into the pot. After one player has made a bet, sitting next to him person can call that bet, raise, re-raise or fold to the bet.
Raise: The action when some player makes the bet, and some one sitting after him decides to bet more. After some one has raised the bet, other players must call the bet, re-raise or fold.
Fold: The action when you do not want to continue the play and give your cards away. Usually you fold your cards when you see that your hand is not good enough to compete with opponents, or do not want to call too big bet, raise or re-raise.
The Guiding Principle of the Betting Round – at the end of every betting round, every player remaining in the pot, has to be put the same amount of money (chips) to the pot.
