Check Raise Poker Term - Check Raised

Check-Raise - To raise the pot after feigning weakness by checking.

In a limit game, the amount of the wager is fixed, and so you may not bet more or less than this amount. Because of this, check-raise is a common ploy made by players who want to get more money into the pot than they could by simply betting. A check-raise is also commonly used as a bluff or semi-bluff.

If you have a strong hand, and there are players to act after you, you may want to consider a check-raise. To initiate a check-raise, you must check when it is your turn to act, with the intention of raising if someone bets behind you. If someone does bet, you will get a chance to raise them. If there is no bet, it will check around and a free card will be delivered, and your attempt at a check-raise will have failed. If you have a strong hand, you may not want to give a free card. This means that before you try to check-raise, you should consider the factors that will affect its success rate.

In order for a check-raise to be successful, you must check and receive a bet behind you. There are two factors that will affect the likelihood of this occurring. The first is the number of player to act after you. The earlier your position, the more players there will be to act after you, and the more likely you will get the bet you need. The second factor that affects your probability of receiving a bet behind you is how aggressive the game is. The more aggressive the game, the more likely you are to receive the bet.

A player will use check-raise as a bluff or semi-bluff if they think that their opponent is betting position and may be weak. Often, a player who has been check-raised will call the additional bet even if they are weak. This means that a check-raise bluff may have to be followed with additional bluff bets on future betting rounds in order to work effectively. You will not see a check-raise bluff or semi-bluff very often from less advanced players or extremely tight players.
