Poker Betting

During the betting rounds, the players may take one of these following actions:

Check or Pass. A bet of zero that does not forfeit interest in the pot. Players may no longer check once an opening bet is made.

Bet or Raise. You first match the previous bet and then raise it. Once a raise is made, other players must match or exceed it, or else forfeit their interest in the pot.

Call. You match a previous bet that has been made and maintains your interest in the pot.

Fold. You surrender your interest in the pot; along with your cards and previous bets.

Standard betting proceeds in a circle (clockwise) until each player has called bets or folded. Different poker games have various rules on the number of betting rounds. But when there are only two players in the pot, they may keep betting until one of them decides to fold.

During a showdown, the player who made the last bet or raise is obliged to show his hand first. Whoever has the best hand wins the pot.
