| Poker basics | Online Poker Titan. Poker Basics All poker games begin with some forced wager over which players compete.
In Seven Card Stud, there are two forced wagers, an ante and a bring-in.
In Texas Hold'em and Omaha, the forced wagers are a small blind and a big blind. In any poker game, players strategically wager using a number of actions available to them.
The actions are as follows:
1. 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 player immediately clockwise from him or her.
A check does not forfeit interest in the pot, only the current right to bet.
If all players check during a round of betting, the round is considered complete.
2. BET - If there is no 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.
3. 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 for the current game.
4. CALL - If there has been a wager on the current betting round, a player may call.
The act of calling requires the player to match the current bet made by his or her opponent(s).
5. RAISE - If there has been a wager on the current betting round, a player may raise.
The act of raising requires the player to match the current bet, and make a greater one. All subsequent players are required to call the raise or raise again ("re-raise") to maintain interest in the pot.
