Decision time! The player has five choices of action – call, bet, check, fold or raise. These are defined as follows:
- Call – this means matching a previously made bet.
- Bet – this means wagering a sum of money.
- Check – this can only be done if there are no bets in play and in doing this, the action moves on to the next player.
- Fold – this means dropping out of the pot and not wanting to call any made bets or raises.
- Raise – this means increasing the wagered amount.
