All poker games begin with some forced wager over which poker players
compete. In Seven Card Stud, there are two forced wagers, an ante and a
bring-in. In other games, the forced wagers are a small blind and a
big blind (and sometimes also an ante). In any basic poker game,
players strategically wager using a number of actions available to
them. The actions are as follows:
- CHECK - If there is no wager on the current betting round, a player may check. The act of checking passes the action to the next person, immediately clockwise from the player. A check does not forfeit interest in the pot, only the current right to bet. If all active players check during a round of betting, the round is considered complete.
- BET - If there is not yet a wager on the current betting round, a player may bet. If a player bets, the player immediately clockwise from him or her (and any subsequent players) may fold, raise, or call.
- FOLD - The act of folding forfeits all interest in the pot. A player who folds is not required or allowed to wager any further money during the current poker hand, but cannot win that hand either.
- CALL - If there has been a bet on the current round of poker rules play, a player may call. The act of calling requires the player to match the current bet made by his or her opponent(s).
- RAISE - If there has been a bet on the current betting round, a player may raise. The act of raising requires the poker player to match the current bet, and then make a greater one. All subsequent players are required to call the raise or raise again ("re-raise") to maintain interest in the pot.
On each betting round, betting continues until every player has
either matched the bets made or folded (if no bets are made, the round
is complete when every player has checked). When the betting round is
completed, the next dealing/betting round begins, or the hand is
complete.
