Hi,

I’m just new to Poker and now I badly need your help. I don’t understand what a check raise is. Kindly explain it to me with sample situation if possible.

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

All the best,
Carson
Carson,

A check raise is when you check to another and they bet out, followed by you then raising that bet. For example, let’s say the flop fell 10-5-2 and you checked to your opponent and he bet out 500. You then raise to 1,500. That is a check-raise.
