BETTING BASICS

RE-RAISE:
Suppose someone else raises you, but you feel that you have a very strong hand. You can reraise your opponent to forfce him to put in another bet to stay in. Some poker rooms will let two players reraise each other indefinitely. Others will cap the total number of bets at 4 or some other number.
Note-Most online poker rooms cap you at 4 bets in each betting round, of course that is ONLY for LIMIT poker. (no-limit and pot-limit games do not have betting caps)

CHECK-RAISE:
Suppose you hold a strong hand, and you are greedy. You want to take more than just one bet from your opponent. So you check, your opponent bets, and you raise him. Now he calls, and if your hand is as good as you think it is, you just won two bets from him. Check-raising is a powerful tool, but it can be dangerous, because your opponent might also check. Then you win no money from him. Or he might have an even better hand then you and reraise you.

CHECK-CALL:
If you have a decent hand, but you think there is a good chance your opponent might have a better one, you may wish to avoid a raise. In this case, you can check and call.

All are powerful tools if used at the proper moment. Which requires some luck, and precise timing.

I agree with the Check-Raise being a good tool, when it works....
It has not ALWAYS worked, they just checked also and folded on last round when I bet super-small trying to goad a small win.

all are good things to know... but use only if you think you have a really good hand..... unless you are bluffing, (of course). lol

I love to check raise! But I rarely get a hand that I can bet like that. It almost always seems to work for me. Smile

I absolutely love the play, when it works. Just dont have the best results when I've tried it !!! I've check-raised and been re-raised all-in and been stuck a few times...and been on the rail even more Censored
