Check

This is an action taken during a betting round where a player chooses not to bet when it's their turn to act, provided that no one else before them has bet in that round. Instead, they pass the decision to the next player, effectively indicating that they want to stay in the hand without contributing additional chips to the pot. Checking is a neutral action that allows a player to see the next card without making a bet.

• Check-Call: This strategy involves checking when it's your turn to act, and then calling a bet made by an opponent. It's often used when a player believes they have a decent hand but doesn't want to lead the betting. Instead, they opt to call a bet made by an opponent to control the pot's size and see additional cards.
• Check-Raise: It's a more aggressive strategy. A player checks to an opponent, hoping that the opponent will make a bet. After the opponent bets, the player then raises, putting more chips into the pot. This tactic is used to trap opponents with stronger hands and build the pot size.
• Check-Fold: In this strategy, a player checks when it's their turn but folds their hand when an opponent bets. Check-folding is often used when a player believes their hand is too weak to continue in the hand and doesn't want to invest more chips.
• Check-Back: The check-back strategy involves checking when it's your turn to act, and then checking again when the action returns to you. It's often used when a player wants to control the pot's size and doesn't see the need to bet. This strategy is common when a player believes their hand is strong but not strong enough to warrant aggressive betting.
