All subsequent players are required to call the raise or raise again (‘re-raise’) to stay in the hand.ĭifferent variants of poker have different betting rounds.
Fold – Players who fold forfeit their cards and cannot win or act again during the current hand.Once a bet has been made, other players must ‘call’ by matching the amount bet, in order to remain in the hand. Bet – Players may bet if no other players have bet during the current round.
