Actions – Texas Holdem Poker Basics at HoldemPoker.com

When it’s the players turn to act, he has five options; call, bet, check, fold or raise. Making a bet means wagering an amount, adding it to the pot. A call is matching a previously made bet. To make a raise is to increase the wagered amount. Folding means dropping out of the pot, not wanting to call any made bets or raises. A player can check only if no bets are yet in play. It simply passes on the action to the next player in turn.
