One of the most important aspects of playing poker is dealing with poker betting. Unfortunately, betting is one of the least easily understood concepts of the game when players are trying to learn about it by simply playing the game. Sometimes it is much easier to go about learning about poker betting by having it explained separately from the actual game itself. This is often easier to make the betting rules of poker understandable to the novice player.



When the game starts, the way poker betting begins is that every player will put in one chip. This will go on until someone calls. If no one calls, the betting can go up. Players have a chance to call or fold, but usually players do not need to fold until the next few cards are handed out. As players accumulate more cards, they are able to keep betting. Again, other players, after putting in their chips or money at the set ante, can call so that the amount will not be raised, or they can fold if they feel that their hands are not good enough to win the pot of money that is being amassed. The amount put in can keep going higher until someone calls and the cards are revealed of the players left. Sometimes, a player will go all in. This means that all of their assets are put into the pot, and this is typically not done unless it is a very good bluff on the part of the person who is doing this style of poker betting, or they have the best hand possible or they feel strongly that they have a better hand that the other person.









Understanding poker betting is very important to being able to strategize for the poker game itself.
