Hi my name is Elizabeth Pow with expert village we are going to go over player action in depth
the first action of player can have is what you will call a check, a check means you make
a bet of zero dollars, for example let's say it's the green players turn to have the action
against my right of the dealer button of the players left. I say to him that it's his action
he's happy with his cards and wants to see what everyone else's is going to bet, he says
check. He denotes a check by tapping on the table, the red player also checks, blue can
check, white can check, black can check which mean no ones bet but, we continue with the
action of the game that is called a check a bet of zero dollars. The next player action
is called a bet, pretty obvious once again let us say it's the green players turn to
bet, again it's to the right, my right of the dealer button he wants to bet two checks,
know once we go around everyone action, they must put in at least two chips in order to
play the hand. I will collect all of those chips and put them in the pot. That was his
bet and everybody else did what?s called a call. A call in poker is when you agree to
only the amount that was bet before you so he put in two, the red player essentially
called by also put in two, the blue player called, the white player and the black player,
the green player made the bet but everybody else made a call, and once again I take everyone
bets, and put it in the pot. Let's talk about raising and folding, so let's go back into
the example with the green player once again is the first person wants to make a choice
with their money, they are to my right of the dealer button and the left of the player,
so let's say this person wants to bet two, the high big blond and let's say the red player
says I have a pretty good hand, so I'm down for your two, and I will like to raise it
two more, that's raise now we go around the table, now this player the blue, the blue
player must put in at least four chips if they want to play the game. So let's say the
blue player says okay, I'll see your four, the white player looks at his cards and say
I don't think I have a great hand they bet nothing and fold their cards, they have these
two cards that they fold and I muk, the black also puts in four and it comes back around
to the green player, and he looks in his hand and says maybe yes, I don't want to go in
for that much, so he leaves in his two and don't have to put anything else in, now I
collect once again all of the chips and put them into the pot. Those are examples of raising
and folding.
